Adolphe Duperly

Adolphe Duperly (1801–1865) was a French engraver, lithographer and printer who settled in Kingston, Jamaica, and who produced daguerreotypes and then founded a photography business.

Duperly was born in Paris, but was in Jamaica in the 1830s and produced a lithograph of the 1831 Baptist War and the emancipation celebrations in Kingston in 1838. He also provided a pictorial chronicle of African-Caribbean people in the 1830s. During the 1840s he published a collection of daguerreotypes of Jamaica.[1]

Duperly and Haiti

Duperly moved to Haiti in 1823 and became one of the teachers of the Lycée National of Haiti (Lycée Toussaint Louverture in Haiti).[2]
