Haitian Maps And Prints: From the Collection of Edouard Duval-Carrié

Tuesday Sep 14, 2004 - Sunday Jan 23, 2005

The exhibition displays rare and antique color maps of 18th and 19th century Saint-Domingue ( Hispaniola), from the collection of renowned Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié’s. The detailed maps, adorned with elegant cartouches, show Haiti, her cities, and the surrounding islands.
