EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of an era marked by political unrest and social change. The subject of this arresting portrait is Alfred Mauroy, a 34-year-old French artist and self-proclaimed anarchist. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image - from the clarity of Mauroy's features to the composition that highlights his defiant gaze. Through his lens, Bertillon not only captures a mugshot but also delves into the realm of anthropology and physical identification. The photograph serves as a testament to both artistry and science; it encapsulates not just Mauroy's occupation as a designer but also his political beliefs that challenged societal norms at the time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print stands as a reminder of France's rich heritage during an era when individuals like Mauroy dared to question authority and fight for their ideals. As we contemplate this powerful image today, we are reminded that even in our modern world, where photography has evolved immensely since Bertillon's time, there remains an enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in history – moments that continue to inspire reflection on politics, identity, and human expression.
