Postcard Martinique

2,50€

Let’s take the plane and go to Martinique in this original work by Lotza. Martinique was conquered in 1794 by the English who prevented the abolition of slavery. Recovered by France following the treaty of Amiens, slavery is maintained by Napoleon. Slaves rebelled so that the abolition of slavery would be applied without delay, which they obtained on May 27, 1848. In this picture, you can see flashy colored boats; they are round skiffs. Every year there is a round skiff race, a traditional race that has been held since the 1940s. At that time, the fishermen mainly used the sail to return to their place of work and to arrive in a boat to sell the product of the fishing.
