A throwback (tootback?!) to a recent archival hunt in Paris. This is (the copy of) a #1791 #passport issued by the #enslaved insurgents during the #HaitianRevolution. They swore an oath of allegiance to Spain through the Archbishop of #SantoDomingo. The heart with a flame presumably represented the Heart of Mary, but maybe some #arthistorians out there can chime in? I also think that “MDM” may possibly stand for “Maria Dei Mater”, and “MN” for “Mater Nostra”. No certainties, though. The sketch is included in an eye-witness testimony to give the French information on the insurgents.
