EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Giroux. Hippolyte, a 34-year-old mechanic from Montreuil les Mines in Saone & Loire, France. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the fascinating intersection between art and science during the late 19th century. Giroux's piercing gaze and rugged features are intensified by the monochromatic tones of the image, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. His identification as an anarchist adds another layer to his persona, hinting at his involvement in political movements that challenged societal norms. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through his meticulous attention to detail in capturing Giroux's physical characteristics for identification purposes. This portrait serves as both a record of Giroux's arrest and an exploration into the field of physical anthropology. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only showcases Bertillon's mastery but also highlights the historical significance of mug shots as a tool for law enforcement during that era. It invites viewers to delve into questions surrounding crime, identity, and social order prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where photography served not only as an art form but also as a means to document history and unravel human complexities.
