EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Joseph Camille Molmerret, a 28-year-old engraver from Lyon, France. Born on November 20,1865, in Rhone, Molmerret is depicted here as an anarchist with his arrest date noted as May 26,1894. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer of criminal identification techniques. The image showcases the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Bertillon's work. Known for his concept of bertillonage and physical anthropology studies, he aimed to create a standardized system for identifying criminals based on their unique measurements and facial features. Molmerret's mugshot provides a glimpse into the political climate of the time while also serving as evidence of his occupation and involvement in anarchist activities. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this piece within its collection—a testament to its historical significance. Through this print by Alphonse Bertillon, we are transported back to an era where science intersected with law enforcement. It reminds us that even in the past centuries, individuals like Molmerret were driven by their beliefs and willing to challenge societal norms through political activism—an enduring legacy captured within this remarkable image.
