EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Chericotti. Paul. 35 ans, ne a Milan (Italie). Marchand de volailles" offers a glimpse into the intriguing life of its subject. Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his anthropological and forensic work, skillfully captured this arresting portrait. Paul Chericotti, a poultry merchant hailing from Milan, Italy, appears in this photograph with an air of defiance and mystery. At 35 years old during the time of capture in 1894, he exudes an unmistakable aura of strength and resilience. The image showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Bertillon was known for in his identification methods. The profile view allows us to observe Chericotti's distinct features while emphasizing the scientific approach behind this photographic documentation. Beyond its technical merits lies a deeper narrative: Chericotti's association with anarchism and criminal activities adds layers of complexity to his story. This mugshot serves as both evidence for law enforcement purposes and as a testament to political unrest during that era. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of photography's power to encapsulate not only physical appearances but also historical context. Through Alphonse Bertillon's lens, we catch a fleeting glimpse into Paul Chericotti's enigmatic existence—a man whose life embodies rebellion against societal norms amidst France's turbulent political landscape at the turn of the century.
