EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mayence" captures the enigmatic figure of Gustave David, a 33-year-old upholsterer from Paris. Taken in the late 19th century by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white albumen silver print showcases not only an arresting portrait but also delves into the realms of anthropology and politics. Gustave David's mugshot-like image reflects his anarchist beliefs, as indicated by his occupation and political affiliation mentioned in the caption. The photograph becomes a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry, a scientific method used for criminal identification during that era. This historical artifact sheds light on France's social landscape at the time, where anarchism was gaining momentum as a political movement. Through this lens, we glimpse into Gustave David's life - a man who defied societal norms and embraced radical ideologies. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is more than just an artistic creation; it serves as evidence of both personal identity and cultural heritage. Its inclusion within museum archives highlights its significance as an invaluable piece of history. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in capturing human essence through photography is evident in this thought-provoking image. As viewers engage with "Mayence" they are transported back to a time when science intersected with artistry to document individuals like Gustave David - men whose lives were marked by their profession, beliefs, and ultimately their encounters with law enforcement agencies.
