EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph taken by Alphonse Bertillon in the late 19th century tells the story of young Auguste Bordes, a wine merchant's assistant from Paris who was arrested for his anarchist beliefs on September 3rd, 1894. The image captures the essence of an era marked by political unrest and social upheaval as anarchism gained momentum across Europe. With his piercing gaze and defiant expression, Auguste stands as a symbol of resistance against societal norms. Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his pioneering work in anthropometry and criminal identification techniques, employed his scientific approach to capture this mugshot-like portrait with precision and detail. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the life of a young man whose occupation belied his fervent political convictions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves this historical artifact that not only documents an individual but also reflects the broader context of French society during that time. As we contemplate this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend its medium to become an invaluable record of our shared heritage—a testament to both personal stories and larger historical narratives that continue to shape our understanding of politics, identity, and human resilience.
