EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the enigmatic figure of Lapeyre. Louis, Pierre, a 29-year-old employee from Rodez (Aveyron), who proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. The black and white portrait exudes a sense of mystery and rebellion, capturing the essence of an era defined by political unrest. Bertillonage, a pioneering anthropometric system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, is evident in this photograph. It serves as both an identification tool and a testament to the scientific approach applied to criminal investigation during that time. Lapeyre's arrest is hinted at through his mugshot-like appearance, emphasizing the connection between crime and politics prevalent in French society. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, representing not only historical documentation but also artistry in photography. Through this image, we are transported back to a tumultuous period where concepts such as anarchism challenged societal norms. As we gaze upon Lapeyre's defiant expression and contemplate his story hidden within these lines on paper, we are reminded of the power that visual artifacts hold in preserving our heritage. This photograph encapsulates not just one man's defiance but also reflects broader themes of identity, law enforcement techniques, and political ideologies that shaped France during the late 19th century.
