EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon, titled "Bellemans. Eugene (ou Michel). 23 ans, ne a Gand (Belgique)", takes us back to the 19th century in France. The image showcases a young man named Eugene or Michel Bellemans, aged 23 at the time of his arrest. Born in Ghent, Belgium, he worked as a tailor but was also known for his anarchist beliefs. Bertillon's photograph is not just an ordinary portrait; it serves as an important piece of anthropological documentation. With meticulous attention to detail and scientific precision, Bertillon captures every aspect of Bellemans' physical appearance for identification purposes. The mugshot reveals more than just the face of a criminal; it delves into the complex relationship between politics and crime during that era. Bellemans' occupation as a tailor might seem unrelated to his anarchist leanings, yet this juxtaposition highlights how individuals from various professions were drawn towards political movements like anarchism. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print represents both artistry and historical significance. It reminds us that photography can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a powerful tool for understanding our past. As we gaze upon this intriguing portrait captured over a century ago, we are transported into an era where science met law enforcement and political ideologies clashed against societal norms – all encapsulated within one arresting image by Alphonse Bertillon.
