EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Louis Bernaix, a 29-year-old roofer from Clichy and an anarchist. Taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this black and white mugshot provides a glimpse into the world of crime and politics during that era. Bernaix's stern expression reflects his rebellious spirit as an active participant in the anarchist movement. The meticulous anthropometric measurements taken by Bertillon highlight the scientific approach used to identify criminals at the time. This photograph serves as both a record of Bernaix's arrest on February 27th, 1894, and a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this piece within its collection, showcasing its historical significance. Beyond being just an image, it represents an intersection between art, science, and social commentary. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when political ideologies clashed against societal norms. Louis Bernaix stands as a symbol of resistance against authority while working his trade as a roofer—a juxtaposition that adds depth to his character. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how photography can encapsulate not only moments but also stories that transcend time itself.
