"Public Punishments in the Place Ste. Anne" is a historical engraving produced by French artist Deroi and published by Engelmann circa 1835. The engraving draws upon an original work by the celebrated German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas, known for his ethnographic depictions of life in the colonial Americas. The engraving stands as a poignant commentary on the social conditions of 19th-century Colonial Latin America.

The image portrays a public punishment scene located in the square of Ste. Anne, presenting a moment frozen in the stark reality of colonial rule. Deroi's masterful utilization of engraving techniques brings a depth to the image, emphasizing the harsh realities and the seemingly casual acceptance of public corporal punishment in the colonial societies of the era.

The dynamic yet grim atmosphere is captured with the use of chiaroscuro, highlighting the extreme disparities and inherent violence of the socio-political setting. In the artifacts of this time, such as this engraving, scholars find lens to navigate and explore the historically complex, often brutal process of colonisation.

Johann Moritz Rugendas' works were considered pivotal for their historical detail and ethnocentric depictions of colonial Latin America, and "Public Punishments in the Place Ste. Anne" is no exception. The engraving, like many of Rugendas' works, thus aids in the understanding of both the artist's perspectives and the broader socio-cultural milieu of the period.
