EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon captures the essence of Henri Walter, a 19-year-old newspaper deliveryman from Brussels, Belgium. The photograph showcases his strong-willed personality and anarchist beliefs. Taken on June 1st, 1894, this black and white portrait reflects the era's concept of criminal identification through anthropometry. Bertillonage, a pioneering technique developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to classify individuals based on their physical characteristics. This mugshot serves as an important historical artifact in the field of physical anthropology and law enforcement. Henri Walter's arresting gaze reveals his defiance against societal norms and political systems prevalent at that time. His occupation as a newspaper deliveryman allowed him to disseminate information freely while advocating for his anarchistic ideals. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece offers viewers a glimpse into the life of an individual who challenged authority during an era marked by social unrest and political turmoil in France. Through photography as a medium, Bertillon captured not only Henri Walter's profession but also his identity as a man with strong convictions. As we observe this remarkable image today, it reminds us of the power that photography holds in preserving history and shedding light on significant moments in our collective past.
