EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bocquet. Alexandre, emile. 17 ans, ne a Paris XVlle. Menuisier. Vol" captures the essence of a young man's life in late 19th century France. The image showcases an arresting portrait of Alexandre Emile Bocquet, a seventeen-year-old carpenter from Paris. Taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned anthropologist and photographer of his time, this albumen silver print reflects the intersection between science and art during that era. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he meticulously documents Bocquet's physical features for identification purposes. Intriguingly, this mugshot-like photograph hints at political undertones with its mention of anarchism and anarchist associations. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary professions like carpentry, individuals were engaged in radical ideologies during this period. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art under their heritage art collection, this image not only offers insights into French society but also represents the broader concept of criminality prevalent at the time. The monochromatic composition adds to its timeless appeal while emphasizing the seriousness associated with crime and arrest during that era. Through this remarkable photograph by Alphonse Bertillon, we are transported back to 1894 France - witnessing both an individual's occupation as well as glimpses into their personal beliefs amidst a rapidly changing political landscape.
