Broadside, approximately 16 3/4 x 13 inches. Folded. Colored pencil mark under caption date, otherwise clean. Near fine. Signed by Poncignon as President, Cougnacq- Mion as Vice President, and Bouissou as Secretary, this broadside printing of a proclamation by the northern assembly of Saint Domingue announces its resolute opposition to the separatist enterprises of the assembly of Saint-Marc. After having supported the colony's governor, Louis de Peinier, when he ordered the dissolution of the Saint-Marc assembly at the end of July 1790, it affirms in the present resolution its willingness to limit its administration of its own province until the resolution of civil conflict on the island by the National Assembly. The proclamation well demonstrates the two sides in the struggle amongst the European element of the colonists: on the one hand, loyalty to the mother country France at any cost; and on the other, the desire for more autonomy and self-administration. The broadside is a very rare format for surviving imprints from Saint Domingue, scarce in and of themselves. The FRENCH UNION CATALOGUE locates one copy of a quarto edition of this proclamation, but none in broadside. Seller Inventory # WRCAM52364
