EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the enigmatic figure of Oudin Clovis, a 49-year-old mechanic and self-proclaimed anarchist. Born in Saint-Hilaire (Marne), France, Oudin's mugshot captures his defiant spirit and political beliefs. The image, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, transports us back to an era when anthropometry played a significant role in criminal identification. Bertillonage, a pioneering system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to classify individuals based on their physical characteristics. This photograph stands as both a testament to this scientific approach and an intriguing portrait of rebellion against societal norms. Oudin's arrest record from March 2nd, 1894 is etched into history through this arresting image. His occupation as a mechanic adds another layer to his story - a man who defies authority while working with machines that symbolize progress and order. As we gaze upon Oudin's face, we are reminded of the power that photography holds in capturing not only appearances but also complex narratives. This photograph transcends time and place; it invites us to ponder the relationship between politics, crime, and personal identity. Alphonse Bertillon's work continues to fascinate scholars interested in anthropology and historical criminology. Through this print from Heritage Images at The Met collection, we gain insight into one man's defiance within the tumultuous landscape of late
