EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Henri Florimond Lepla, a 25-year-old anarchist born in Ghent, Belgium. Taken on March 1st, 1894, this albumen silver print is an intriguing piece of anthropometric history. Bertillonage, a pioneering system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to identify criminals through precise measurements of their physical features. This photograph serves as an arresting mugshot capturing Lepla's distinctive facial features and providing valuable information for identification purposes. The image transports us back to the late 19th century in France when political tensions were high and anarchism was gaining momentum. Lepla's defiant gaze hints at his rebellious nature and ideological beliefs that challenged the established order. Through this portrait, we glimpse into a time when science intersected with law enforcement as physical anthropology played a significant role in criminal investigations. The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves this historical artifact that not only documents one man's arrest but also represents an era marked by social unrest and political activism. As we observe this remarkable photograph today, it reminds us of the power of visual documentation in preserving our collective heritage. It prompts contemplation about the complex relationship between politics, crime, identity, and scientific advancements during a transformative period in history.
