EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "308. Novi. Ernest, Theodore. 32 ans, ne a Nice (Alpes-Maritimes)" captures the essence of an intriguing individual from the 19th century. Ernest Theodore Novi, a French architect and anarchist hailing from Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, comes to life in this remarkable albumen silver print by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon. With his arresting gaze and distinguished beard adorning his face, Novi's mugshot reveals not only his physical appearance but also hints at his rebellious spirit as an anarchist. This photograph serves as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry - the scientific study of human measurements for identification purposes. The image transports us back to a time when political tensions ran high in France. Novi's occupation as an architect juxtaposed with his involvement in anarchism adds another layer of intrigue to this enigmatic figure. As we delve into the depths of history through this portrait, it becomes evident that individuals like Novi were not confined solely by their profession but rather shaped by their political beliefs. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage art piece offers us a glimpse into both personal identity and societal dynamics during that era. It reminds us that photography is not merely about capturing faces; it can be a powerful tool for documenting history and exploring complex concepts such as politics and crime.
