President of Haiti (born 1907) from 1957 until his death in 1971, whose rule, based on a purged military and the use of a pervasive cult of personality, resulted in the murder of 30,000 to 60,000 Haitians and the exile of many more. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Papa Doc wearing a hat and white suit, signed in black ink and adding a lengthy inscription in French. In fine condition, with a few light surface creases. Highly rare in signed pictures, this originates from the estate of Duvalier's secretary Francesca Saint Victor.
