EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pierre. Joseph, Adrien. 42 ans, ne a Rouen (Seine-Inferieure)" by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century in France. The image showcases an arresting portrait of Pierre Joseph Adrien, a 42-year-old chair caner from Rouen. The photograph is not just a mere mugshot but also serves as an important historical artifact that reflects the political climate of the time. Pierre Joseph Adrien was not only known for his occupation but also identified himself as an anarchist, making him a figure of interest within the context of French politics during this era. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry and physical anthropology shines through this meticulously composed image. His use of albumen silver print adds depth and texture to the photograph, capturing every detail with precision. As we gaze into Pierre Joseph Adrien's eyes, we are transported to another time and place - witnessing both his individuality and his connection to broader social movements. This thought-provoking piece invites us to contemplate concepts such as identity, crime, law enforcement techniques used at that time while appreciating the artistic value it holds. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's contribution to photography and science alike. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary individuals have stories worth exploring within our shared heritage.
