notes:
Thought to represent the climax of the First Carib War, when a treaty was made in 1773 between the British and the black Carib chiefs in St. Vincent. The treaty demanded that the Caribs lay down their arms. A British soldier at the far right holds a map of St. Vincent with the boundaries of the Caribs and the English plantations on it. The man seated with his arm outstretched may be Sir William Young, an appointee in the British West Indies. One of the Carib chiefs may be Chatoyer. This image has also been used to illustrate scenes of maroon confrontation in Jamaica and Dominica. Because it was printed at the time of the Haitian revolution, it also became a symbol of British order and control in comparison with the disastrous French rule in the Caribbean. Image placed horizontally on page.
