EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the renowned Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Beaufort Gilbert, a rebellious soul who was born in Paris and worked as an accomplished cabinet maker. At the age of 32, he proudly identified himself as an anarchist, challenging societal norms and advocating for radical political change. The monochromatic composition of this photograph adds a timeless quality to Beaufort's arresting mug shot. The meticulous anthropometric measurements taken by Bertillon reflect his pioneering work in the field of physical anthropology and criminal identification. Intriguingly, this image offers us a glimpse into not only Beaufort's individuality but also the socio-political climate of France during that era. It serves as a testament to the power of photography as both an art form and scientific tool. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork preserves not just one man's story but also sheds light on broader concepts such as crime, occupation, and politics prevalent in that period. As we gaze upon Beaufort's portrait today, we are reminded of how history continues to shape our understanding of identity and rebellion.
