notes:
|
The Black Caribs were descendants of the native American Caribs and fugitive black slaves from the Caribbean island, St. Vincent. Chatoyer, today celebrated as St. Vincent's first national hero, was killed in 1795 during the second Carib War. Brunias, a painter born in Italy, accompanied William Young, who was appointed to a high governmental post in the West Indies, as his personal artist. Image placed horizontally on page.
