EDITORS COMMENTS
Charrie. Cyprien. 26 ans, ne le 7/10/67 a Paris XVIlle. Imprimeur (Charrie. Cyprien. 26 years old, born on October 7th, 1867 in Paris XVIlle. Printer). Anarchiste 2/7/94 (Anarchist since July 2nd, 1894). This photograph captures the essence of Charrie Cyprien, a man whose life story unfolds through his arresting portrait. Taken in the late nineteenth century by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed by Bertillon to document individuals for identification purposes. Charrie's defiant gaze and resolute expression hint at his anarchist beliefs and political leanings during a time of social unrest in France. The image serves as both an intriguing historical artifact and a testament to individualism amidst societal norms. As an imprimeur or printer by profession, Charrie played a vital role in disseminating information during that era—a connection between artistry and rebellion perhaps? His mugshot-like depiction adds an element of intrigue to this remarkable piece of heritage art housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alphonse Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology revolutionized criminal identification methods—his bertillonage system became widely adopted worldwide. This photograph not only captures one man's identity but also reflects the broader concepts of crime, politics, and science prevalent
