EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Moucheraud, Adrien Eugene, a 28-year-old printer and anarchist hailing from Paris IVe. The black and white portrait captures the essence of an era marked by political turmoil and social unrest. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-style photograph, as he sought to develop a scientific method for identifying criminals based on physical measurements. Moucheraud's arrest is documented here, providing a glimpse into the world of crime and law enforcement during that time. The image not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights the intersection between art and science. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every aspect of the composition – from the clarity of Moucheraud's features to the precise positioning within the frame. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back in time to witness one man's defiance against societal norms. Moucheraud represents a generation driven by radical ideologies who challenged established authorities through their anarchistic beliefs. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to both our cultural heritage and Bertillon's groundbreaking contributions to photography and criminal identification techniques. It reminds us that even within seemingly mundane professions like printing lies untold stories waiting to be discovered through artful documentation.
