EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Savard. Henri-Auguste, a 29-year-old ciseleur and self-proclaimed anarchist from Paris. Taken on July 2nd, 1894, by renowned French photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this image showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed during that era. Savard's arresting gaze is intensified by his well-groomed facial hair - a thick mustache that adds an air of rebellion to his expression. This mugshot-like photograph was part of Bertillon's pioneering work in identification and criminal anthropology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this heritage art piece, which serves as both a historical record and an artistic representation of political unrest in France during the late 19th century. The concept behind Bertillonage aimed to link physical characteristics with criminal behavior, contributing to advancements in forensic science. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into the life of Savard - a man who defied societal norms and embraced anarchism as his political ideology. His defiant spirit resonates through time as we contemplate the influence he may have had on shaping history. Alphonse Bertillon's mastery in capturing not only faces but also stories is evident in this thought-provoking photo print. It stands as a testament to the power of photography as both an art form and a tool for scientific inquiry.
