EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Cana Eugene Pierre, a 47-year-old bronze worker born in Paris XIe. The photograph captures his intriguing personality and political beliefs as an anarchist. Taken on February 3rd, 1894, this black and white mug shot is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking anthropometric system. Bertillonage, the scientific method of identification developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to classify criminals based on their physical characteristics. This portrait serves as a testament to the intersection between art and science during that era. Cana Eugene Pierre's arrest adds another layer of intrigue to this image. His occupation as a metalworker reflects his skill set while also shedding light on the social context of France at the time. As we gaze into his eyes, we are transported back in time to witness not only an individual but also a snapshot of history. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into Cana Eugene Pierre's life and legacy. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be discovered—a reminder that resonates with both art enthusiasts and those interested in historical anthropology.
