The Declaration of Independence - Puzzle

A timeless moment of liberty and justice, this imagined scene by Thony Loui brings to life Haiti’s 1804 Declaration of Independence. In the spotlight: Boisrond-Tonnerre, the author of the declaration; Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the revolutionary leader; and Alexandre Pétion, a founding father.

Set before a cheering crowd, the illustration evokes the triumph of freedom. It also appears in Lilas Desquiron’s book, Haïti, un pays unique au monde, celebrating Haiti’s enduring legacy.
