Chevalier. Etienne. 36 ans, né à Gémosac (Charente-Inférieure) - A Captivating Portrait of a French Anarchist Forgeron
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing black and white albumen print captures the essence of Chevalier Etienne, a 36-year-old blacksmith from Gémosac in Charente-Inférieure, France. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894 as part of his pioneering work in anthropometry and criminal identification. Etienne's intense gaze and rugged features reveal a man deeply committed to his anarchist beliefs. His mugshot-like portrait reflects the turbulent political climate of the late 19th century, where individuals like him challenged societal norms through acts of civil disobedience. Bertillon's meticulous documentation showcases not only Etienne's physical appearance but also provides valuable insight into his occupation and personal details. This image serves as an important historical artifact that sheds light on both the individual and broader social movements during this time period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's groundbreaking contributions to forensic science and anthropology. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be discovered – one that intertwines personal struggles with larger political ideologies. As we contemplate this arresting image, let us reflect on the power of photography to capture moments frozen in time and offer glimpses into lives lived long ago.
