EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of Recco Gregoire, a 35-year-old tailor born in Formia, Italy. The image showcases an arresting portrait of this enigmatic man with his piercing gaze and unkempt hair. The photograph not only serves as a documentation of Gregoire's physical appearance but also provides insight into his political beliefs as an anarchist during that era. It is fascinating how Bertillon's work combines elements of anthropology and science to create an accurate identification record for law enforcement purposes. As we delve into the details of this mugshot-like image, we are transported to France where this arrest took place on November 3rd, 1894. This piece becomes more than just a mere photograph; it becomes a historical artifact representing the intersection between crime and art. Through this powerful visual medium, we can almost feel the weight of history upon us as we contemplate Gregoire's occupation as a tailor - perhaps using his craft to conceal his true intentions or channeling his frustrations through needle and thread. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable albumen silver print reminds us that photography has always been intertwined with politics and social movements throughout time. It invites viewers to ponder on the complexities behind one individual's story while reflecting on broader themes such as identity
