EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Brosselin. Jean-Baptiste, a 32-year-old carpenter from Aulay in Cote d'Or, France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection between art and science during the late 19th century. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he meticulously documents Brosselin's physical features for identification purposes. The portrait reveals a man with strong convictions, as indicated by his anarchist beliefs proudly listed alongside his occupation. This mugshot-like image serves as a powerful testament to the political climate of that era. The photograph not only provides insight into Brosselin's personal story but also offers valuable historical context on crime and law enforcement practices at the time. Through this lens, we glimpse into an intriguing chapter of French history where concepts such as heritage art and physical anthropology intersected with politics. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites viewers to explore both its artistic merits and its significance within social sciences. As we engage with this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of photography's ability to capture moments frozen in time while simultaneously shedding light on broader societal narratives.
