John Armstrong Chaloner

John Armstrong ("Archie") Chaloner strikes a Napoleonic pose—and hairstyle—for Rufus Holsinger, a glass-plate photographer from Charlottesville, Virginia. Chaloner believed he bore an uncanny resemblance to Napoléon, and that he shared many traits with the French ruler who had been deposed and banished to an island. An engraving of Napoléon hung over the mantle in Chaloner's library and busts of the emperor were scattered about the house.
