1259 imageSlave Trade 1824 (Jan. 12): Entire lettersheet from Martin Knight in Havanna, Cuba with red two line handstamp 'Colonies / par Le Havre' addressed to the in the Slave Trade well known Agency 'Herbert' (& Sallier) in Nantes, France, with interesting content:rn"Les dangeousons de mûles sont toujours de la même manière.

'Mûles' is the pseudonym for Slaves. In 1807, both Britain and the United States (1808) banned the Atlantic slave trade. Unlike in the rest of the Americas, the 19th century European-descended Cuban elite did not form an anti-colonial movement. (Image 1) (Image 2)
