Some Images of Prominent Haitians of the Nineteenth Century

19th century Haitian scholar and politician, Beaubrun Ardouin, in the only photograph I have been able to locate, most likely taken in the 1850s or 1860s? His Etudes sur l'Histoire d'Haïti and Géographie de l'Ile d'Haïti are important sources (and I believe the latter might be translated into English) and though Ardouin was an elitist who believed that those like him were best suited to rule, he was an important figure in the construction of a 'mulatto legend' of Haitian history yet also proudly (at least in his writings) a descendant of Africans, despite being virtually indistinguishable from Europeans.

Inginac was Boyer's right-hand man. Image found in Thomas Madiou's Histoire d'Haiti. Unsurprisingly, he is very light-skinned, like much of the Boyerist elites. It's amazing what one can find in old digitized texts by 19th century Haitian scholars!

A very flattering and 'noble' President Boyer in this portrait, also taken from Thomas Madiou. 

Again, not too surprising, but another prominent military official who oversaw the department or region of Santo Domingo (when the eastern half of Hispaniola was Haiti) is another light-skinned person. Of course, prominent military officials under Boyer came in all colors, but the higher-ups tended to be light-complected. This general would have served under General Borgella, at least when Charles Mackenzie traveled to Santo Domingo in the late 1820s. 

Also from Madiou's text, downloadable via Google, this senator and prominent person also played a large role in the 1843 Constitutional Assembly that met after the fall of Boyer to create a new constitution.
