This fascinating photograph from ca. 1900 is of a Haitian houngan found on Contemporary Haitian Art Facebook page. No source is given, but it is supposedly from 1900. It's interesting how the artwork depicted on the temple resembles later Haitian art of the 20th century, which I believe reveals how influential Vodou and its artistic history has been on the 'masters,' like Obin.
