Le Code Noir, or the Black Code, a book of regulations on slavery in the French colonies, 1742 edition, from the Musee des Salorges fund, in the Musee d'histoire de Nantes, in the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne, in Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France. The rules cover government, justice, police, discipline and trade. Originally published in March 1685, written by Jean-Baptiste Colbert under King Louis XIV, the text attempts to marry the ownership of slaves with the Christian society of the 17th century. The museum opened in 2007 and covers the history of Nantes, focusing on slavery, world wars, industrialisation and the chateau. Picture by Manuel Cohen
