Schroder & Schyler

We are in the heart of the Seven Years’ War that opposed France and England from 1756 to 1763. Imagine how dangerous the seas have become, and the trade between France and the West Indies is now very difficult. Schröder & Schÿler acquires a frigate called the Eulalie in order to continue supplying spices, indigo and other products. On August 12, 1779, the ship departed from the river bar in Bayonne, armed with 20 guns on the bridge and a hundred weapons. A crew of 105 trusted men also came aboard the Eulalie to ensure its defense during this long and beautiful journey towards Santo Domingo and its much-prized commodities.

While exploring the ancient documents and precious archives of the Schröder & Schÿler trading company, We come across a bill of exchange. It is clearly a debt paid by the trader. As we move on to the next document, the date on the letter catches our attention. The letter was signed on July 14, 1789, the day of the capture of the Bastille, An unforgettable event in the history of France While a Bordeaux trader is continuing his commercial activities like every day of the year, a revolution is breaking out in the heart of Paris and the French people are preparing for the dawn of the Republic. A historical moment for France seen through a simple commercial document of the company.
