EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the esteemed Nissage Saget, the eighth president of the Republic of Haiti. Created by renowned artist Sirouy, this portrait was commissioned to illustrate Edgar La Selve's story "La republique d'Haiti" in 1871. The print was later published in the prestigious "Tour du Monde" magazine under the direction of Edouard Charton in Paris. Nissage Saget, a prominent figure in Haitian history, served as president from 1869 to 1874. His leadership during a tumultuous period marked by political instability and economic challenges earned him admiration and respect among his people. The engraving beautifully captures Saget's dignified presence and commanding aura. Every line etched with precision brings forth his strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Sirouy's exceptional talent as an engraver. This historical artwork is part of the Selva Collection, curated by Leonard de Selva. It serves as a testament to Haiti's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to world history. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of Nissage Saget's enduring legacy and his role in shaping Haiti's path towards progress.
