EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures a man in convict clothing and leg irons, seated and facing front, between 1880 and 1886. The image, titled "Sukhomlin in convict dress (a police photograph)," is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of the criminal justice system during the 19th century. The man's expression is somber, his gaze fixed and unwavering, as he sits with his hands resting on his knees. The intricate details of the convict clothing and the heavy iron chains that bind his ankles are clearly visible, adding to the sense of isolation and despair. The photograph, which is in black and white, was likely taken as a record of the man's punishment. It is unclear where the location was or why the man was imprisoned, but the image provides a glimpse into the lives of those who were deemed lawbreakers during this time. The use of the term "police photograph" suggests that the image may have been taken for official records or for use in legal proceedings. The portrait is a powerful reminder of the meeting of frontiers between law and order, and the human consequences of crime and punishment. It is a valuable addition to the historical record, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the 19th century. The image is held in the Library of Congress, a repository of American heritage and art, and serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory aspects of human history.
