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 : Kalinago (Carib) Indians migrated from South America into the Windward Islands beginning about 1400. They resisted the Europeans, and eventually retreated to the more mountainous parts of St. Vincent and Dominica, where they inter-married with escaped African slaves. In 1796 the British deported the St. Vincent Kalinago (about 5,000) to the island of Ruatan off Honduras. From there, they moved into present-day Belize, where their descendants live today. Descendants of the Dominica Kalinago still live on Dominica. This print portrays a number of their customs.
