EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Schaeffer Ignace, a 42-year-old anarchist cabinet maker from Berheim, Bas-Rhin. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection between art and science during the late 19th century. Schaeffer's arresting mugshot reveals his strong-willed demeanor as he stares directly into the camera lens. The meticulous anthropometric measurements taken by Bertillon highlight the scientific approach used to identify criminals at that time. This photograph serves as a testament to both the advancements in physical anthropology and the political climate of France during this era. The image provides a glimpse into Schaeffer's life and occupation as an anarchist cabinetmaker, challenging societal norms with his radical beliefs. His defiant expression reflects his unwavering commitment to anarchism, a concept that sought to dismantle hierarchical structures within society. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this historical artifact not only represents an individual but also symbolizes an entire movement that shaped French politics in the late 19th century. Through its powerful portrayal of identity and defiance, this photograph invites viewers to contemplate both personal narratives and broader historical contexts.
