EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Mereaux Emile-Louis, a 33-year-old cabinet maker born in Laon, Aisne. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1892, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection of art and science during the 19th century. Mereaux's striking portrait reveals not only his physical appearance but also his political beliefs as an anarchist. The meticulous anthropometric measurements conducted by Bertillon provide insights into the emerging field of physical anthropology at that time. The photograph serves as more than just a mug shot; it is a testament to the power of photography in documenting identity for law enforcement purposes. It highlights how individuals were categorized based on their occupation, with Mereaux identified as both an artisan and a potential criminal. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image represents an important piece of French heritage art. It offers viewers a glimpse into the social and political climate of late 19th-century France while showcasing Bertillon's pioneering work in forensic identification techniques. As we gaze upon Mereaux's arresting expression, we are reminded that behind every face lies a story waiting to be unraveled—a reminder that history continues to speak through these remarkable photographic artifacts.
