EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1891 captures the essence of a man named Jacques Emile Barbichon at the age of 62. Born in the picturesque town of Provins, France, Barbichon was not just an ordinary watercress seller but also an anarchist. The image showcases his arresting presence as he stands against a plain background with a hint of defiance in his eyes and determination etched on his face. The meticulous details captured through this albumen silver print highlight Bertillon's expertise as both a photographer and anthropologist. Bertillonage - the scientific method developed by Alphonse Bertillon for identifying criminals based on physical measurements - is evident in this mugshot-like portrait that served to document individuals for law enforcement purposes during that era. As we delve into this intriguing piece from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported back to a time when political ideologies were fervently debated and social unrest prevailed throughout Europe. Through this historical artifact, we gain insight into not only Barbichon's personal story but also broader concepts such as anthropology, crime prevention methods like anthropometry, and the influence of politics on society during the late 19th century.
