EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Chambon Raoul, a 20-year-old engraver from Valreas, Vaucluse. Taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and photographer, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection of artistry and politics during the late 19th century. Chambon's piercing gaze reflects his anarchist beliefs as he stands defiantly against societal norms. His arrest on May 26th, 1894, for unknown reasons adds an air of mystery to this thought-provoking portrait. The meticulous attention to detail in this mugshot highlights Bertillon's pioneering work in identification techniques and physical anthropology. Intriguingly composed against a plain backdrop, Chambon's image becomes a powerful symbol of resistance within the political landscape of France at that time. This photograph not only documents an individual but also serves as a testament to the turbulent era it was taken in. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic merit. It reminds us that photography can transcend mere documentation and become a medium for exploring complex concepts such as identity, occupation, crime, and politics. Alphonse Bertillon's masterful composition immortalizes Chambon Raoul's rebellious spirit while inviting us to reflect upon our own place within society.
