EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Parisot Louis, a 37-year-old man born in Saint-Avalet, Moselle. The image was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894 as part of his groundbreaking work in anthropometry and criminal identification. Parisot Louis, an employee at "Le Petit Journal" is depicted with a stoic expression that hints at his anarchist beliefs. This mugshot-like portrait showcases the meticulousness of Bertillon's technique, highlighting every detail from the lines on Louis' face to his distinct features. The photograph serves as a testament to the intersection between science and art during the late 19th century. Through this image, we witness how photography became an essential tool for law enforcement and physical anthropology. It offers us a glimpse into French society at that time, where political tensions were high and anarchism was gaining momentum. Displayed within the esteemed halls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a valuable historical artifact. It reminds us not only of our collective heritage but also prompts contemplation about concepts such as crime, identity, and politics. Alphonse Bertillon's work paved the way for modern forensic techniques still used today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait of Parisot Louis, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when science met artistry to capture both individuality and societal complexities through photography.
