Résumé : In 1764 Italian artist Agostino Brunias visited the West Indies with Sir William Young, as his personal artist. Brunias returned to England about 1775, and emigrated to Dominica in 1784. Edwards defended slavery in his History, the second and later editions of which are illustrated with several pictures by Brunias. This print, however, probably depicts free men and women (they are better dressed than slaves). Brunias visions of noble savages and happy slaves are often reproduced, to this day.

Résumé : Contract laborers were imported from China to Cuba in the nineteenth century to alleviate the severe labor shortage caused by the expansion of the sugar estates. Between 1847 and 1878, approximately 145,000 Chinese arrived in the island. As they were expected to work under conditions similar to slavery, the death rate was high. By 1899, the population was reduced to 14,863. The artist, Frederic Remington, well-known for his portrayal of the Old West, began his career at Harper's Weekly. On assignment as artist and correspondent in Cuba during the 1890s, he reported on conditions on the island, as well as the Spanish American War in 1898.
