EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Henri Achille Etievant, a 32-year-old typographer and anarchist from Flammanville, Manche. The photograph, taken on April 3rd, 1894, is an intriguing blend of artistry and scientific documentation. Etievant's arresting mugshot captures the essence of his time - a period marked by political unrest and social upheaval. His strong features are accentuated by a well-groomed mustache and beard that exude confidence and defiance. As a typesetter in France during this era, Etievant played an important role in disseminating ideas through printed materials. Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques are evident in this image; every detail meticulously measured to aid identification purposes within the criminal justice system. This portrait not only serves as evidence of Etievant's arrest but also provides valuable insights into physical anthropology at the time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic merit. It encapsulates the spirit of rebellion against societal norms while showcasing the evolving field of photography as it intersects with science. Through its black-and-white composition, we are transported back to an era where politics clashed with law enforcement—a visual representation of one man's journey amidst turbulent times. This print invites us to ponder upon themes such as identity, occupation, crime, and political activism - all captured within the frame for eternity.
