EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Biais Fernand Alphonse, a 41-year-old wood turner from Laval, Mayenne. The photograph was taken on July 2nd, 1894, by renowned French anthropologist and criminologist Alphonse Bertillon. Bertillon's expertise in identification techniques is evident in this mugshot-style portrait that showcases his pioneering work in the field of physical anthropology. Biais' arresting gaze and distinctive facial hair make for an intriguing visual study. Beyond its artistic value, this image holds historical significance as it sheds light on the political climate of the time. Biais proudly identifies himself as an anarchist, reflecting a period marked by social unrest and radical ideologies. The black and white composition adds to the overall intensity of the photograph while emphasizing details such as Biais' meticulously groomed mustache. This striking contrast also underscores Bertillon's scientific approach to capturing human features for identification purposes. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as both a testament to Bertillon's contribution to forensic science and a window into France's cultural heritage during the late 19th century. It stands as a reminder that photography can transcend mere documentation and become an art form capable of preserving history with remarkable clarity.
