EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Leboucher. Edouard, Leon. 43 ans, ne a Paris XIVe. Cordonnier. Anarchiste" captures the essence of an intriguing individual from the late 19th century. Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer in criminal identification techniques, masterfully captured this arresting mugshot. In this thought-provoking image, we see Edouard Leon Leboucher at the age of 43, born in Paris's XIVe arrondissement and working as a cobbler by trade. However, what truly sets him apart is his political affiliation as an anarchist - a radical ideology that challenged societal norms during its time. Bertillon's meticulous approach to photography and anthropometry allowed him to document not only Leboucher's physical appearance but also his occupation and political beliefs with remarkable detail. This photograph serves as both evidence for criminal investigation purposes and a testament to the intersection between science and art. As we delve into Leboucher's portrait further, it becomes evident that he represents more than just one man; he embodies an entire era marked by social unrest and political dissent in France. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this historical artifact within their collection of heritage art. Through Bertillon's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only an individual but also the spirit of rebellion that permeated society during the late 19th century—a powerful reminder of how photography can
