EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Schrader. Minna, Appoline, a 19-year-old sculptor born in Paris XIe. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print is a testament to the rich heritage of art and anthropology. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry shines through as he meticulously documents every detail of Minna's physical appearance. This mugshot-like portrait serves as an identification tool for law enforcement purposes, showcasing the intersection between science and criminal investigation during that time period. Minna's intense gaze draws us into her world, revealing both strength and vulnerability. As a female sculptor breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, she embodies resilience and determination. Her artistic talent is evident even in this seemingly mundane photograph. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, preserving not only Minna's story but also the historical significance of women artists from that era. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to her features while emphasizing the timeless beauty captured on film. Alphonse Bertillon's mastery behind the lens immortalizes Minna as more than just an association de malfaiteurs (criminal). Through his lens, she becomes an emblematic figure representing French culture at its finest - strong-willed, creative, and unapologetically herself. This print stands as a testament to the power of photography to capture moments frozen in time – moments that continue to inspire generations
