EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Alfred Barreyre, a 30-year-old restaurant manager and self-proclaimed anarchist. Taken on July 2nd, 1894, by renowned French photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white mugshot showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed during that era. Barreyre's stern expression reflects his defiant nature as an advocate for political change in France. His arrest is evident from the somber atmosphere surrounding him. The photograph not only serves as a record of his physical appearance but also highlights the intersection between science and law enforcement prevalent at the time. Alphonse Bertillon was a pioneer in criminal identification methods known as "bertillonage". By measuring various body parts such as height, head circumference, and facial features like ear shape or eye distance, he sought to create a standardized system for identifying individuals involved in criminal activities. Beyond its historical significance within forensic anthropology, this image offers us a glimpse into Barreyre's world—a man who challenged societal norms through his profession and political beliefs. It invites contemplation about the turbulent times he lived in and raises questions about individual agency within larger social structures. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection today, this portrait stands as a testament to both artistic mastery and scientific innovation. Its enduring legacy reminds us of how photography can capture not just faces but also stories that transcend time itself.
