EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Selle. Louis-Desire-Honore, a 31-year-old cobbler born in Bougival. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer of forensic science. Selle's image is presented in classic black and white, emphasizing his stern expression and rugged features. This mugshot-style photograph serves as an important historical document, showcasing the early techniques used for identification purposes in law enforcement during that time. Bertillonage, a system developed by Bertillon himself, aimed to standardize criminal identification through precise measurements of various body parts. This concept merged anthropology with photography and played a significant role in shaping modern forensic practices. Beyond its scientific significance, this arresting image also sheds light on Selle's political leanings - he is identified as an anarchist. During an era marked by social unrest and political movements across Europe, anarchism gained traction among individuals seeking radical change. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print stands as a testament to both the artistry and scientific advancements of its time. It offers us a glimpse into the life of one man amidst larger societal shifts while reminding us of the power inherent in visual documentation – capturing not only faces but also stories from our shared human history.
