Summary

Description
English: Fire in Saint-Domingo 1791, German copper engraving
Deutsch: Vorstellung der auf der Französischen Colonie St. Domingo von denen schwartzen Sclaven eingebildete Französischen democratische Freyheit ... zu erwerben gedachten ...

[Loose English translation]

"On the French colony of St. Domingo, black slaves - through unending brutality - think to win conceited French democratic freedoms. They ruin many hundreds of coffee and sugar plantations and burn the mills, they indiscriminately slaughter all of the whites which fall into their hands, even using a white child as their flag, disgrace women and drag them away to miserable prisons.

Created 1791. However, their intentions came to nothing."
