EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print showcases the enigmatic figure of Schwartz. Auguste, a 31-year-old leatherworker and self-proclaimed anarchist hailing from Paris XIIe. Born on January 23rd, 1863, this mugshot-like portrait captures his essence with striking clarity. The black and white composition adds an air of mystery to the image, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques are evident in this photograph, as he sought to document individuals for identification purposes within the realm of criminal justice. This arresting image serves as a testament to Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself - which aimed to classify criminals based on their physical characteristics. Schwartz's defiant gaze hints at his political leanings and rebellious nature as an anarchist during a time when France was grappling with social unrest. His occupation as a maroquinier (leatherworker) further highlights his working-class background and perhaps sheds light on his motivations for embracing anarchism. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this historical artifact not only offers insight into one man's life but also provides valuable documentation for scholars studying anthropology, photography, and political history. Through its powerful portrayal of Schwartz. Auguste. , this photograph invites viewers to ponder upon notions of identity, crime, politics, and human existence in late-19th century France.
