EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Ber (h)nard. Victor. 43 ans, ne a Paris. Coupeur. Anarchiste" is a remarkable piece of historical documentation captured by the renowned Alphonse Bertillon. The photograph portrays Ber (h)nard Victor, a 43-year-old man born in Paris and working as a cutter, who proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry and his pioneering work in criminal identification are evident in this arresting mugshot-style portrait. The black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal while highlighting the seriousness of the subject matter. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into France's political landscape during that era, where anarchism was gaining momentum as an ideology challenging societal norms and advocating for radical change. It serves as a testament to the power of photography as both art form and scientific tool. Housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this photograph showcases Bertillon's significant contribution to physical anthropology and law enforcement practices at that time. Its presence among other heritage artworks solidifies its importance not only from an artistic standpoint but also from a historical perspective. As we delve into this thought-provoking image, let us appreciate how it encapsulates the intersection between politics, science, crime prevention methods, and human identity—a true testament to Alphonse Bertillon's enduring legacy.
