About Aimé Bligny

Lived 1835 – 1907 (aged 71). Aimé Bligny was a French locksmith and anarchist.

Aimé Bligny (1835—1907) was a French locksmith and anarchist. He was active during the 1880s and 1890s within the anarchist movement in France, organizing several meetings and anarchist groups.

Born in Vincennes and having experienced a business failure, Bligny joined the anarchist movement in France in the mid-1880s. He associated with various figures of the movement, such as Louise Michel, with whom he organized meetings, and Jean Grave, whom he reportedly accompanied to the International Congress in London in 1887 and with whom he corresponded.

He organized various groups, particularly in the eastern suburbs of Paris, such as Montreuil, where he led an abstentionist anarchist group. Although targeted by the repression of early 1894, he was released and cleared of all charges.

His police mugshot is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET).
