EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Bourbasquet, a 25-year-old French hairdresser and anarchist. Taken in 1894, the image is an albumen silver print that exemplifies the artistry of 19th-century photography. Bourbasquet's mugshot-like portrait reveals his strong features and intense gaze, capturing the essence of a man deeply committed to his beliefs. The photograph serves as both an identification record and a testament to the era's fascination with anthropometry – the measurement of human physical characteristics for criminal identification purposes. In this arresting image, Bourbasquet stands against a plain backdrop, emphasizing his individuality within society. His occupation as a hairdresser adds an intriguing layer to his persona, challenging stereotypes associated with anarchists at that time. Alphonse Bertillon was renowned for pioneering scientific methods in crime investigation and forensic anthropology. Through this photograph, he combines artistic expression with scientific documentation, blurring the boundaries between art and science. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage piece offers us a glimpse into France's political climate during the late 19th century. It reminds us that behind every historical event lies individuals who shape their country's destiny through their actions and convictions. As we contemplate Bourbasquet's enigmatic presence frozen in time, we are reminded of how photographs can transcend mere visual representation to become powerful windows into history itself.
