EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Adnet. Jeanne, Marie. Alphonsine (femme Quesnel). 22 ans, nee a Argentan" takes us back to the late 19th century in France. This mesmerizing portrait captures the essence of a young woman named Alphonsine Quesnel at the age of 22, born in Argentan. Alphonsine's intriguing story unfolds as we delve deeper into her life through this remarkable image. A skilled seamstress by profession, she defied societal norms with her anarchist beliefs and political activism. The photograph serves as an arresting mugshot taken on August 1st, 1894, revealing her encounter with law enforcement due to her involvement in anarchism. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this meticulously composed albumen silver print. His scientific approach to identification and physical anthropology shines through his work. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this historical artifact that not only documents a criminal arrest but also encapsulates the spirit of rebellion during that era. As we gaze upon Alphonsine's intense expression and contemplate the context surrounding this image, we are transported back to a time when women like her challenged societal constraints and fought for their beliefs fearlessly. This photograph stands as a testament to both personal resilience and political resistance within French history.
