Cler. Henri, 31 ans, né à Paris XIe - A Portrait of Anarchy and Identity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the essence of Cler. Henri, a 31-year-old cabinet maker from Paris XIe in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases not only the artistry of photography but also its role in criminal identification. Henri's stern expression reflects his anarchist beliefs as well as his defiance against societal norms prevalent during that era. The meticulous anthropometric measurements captured through Bertillonage reveal the scientific approach employed to classify individuals based on their physical features. As an artisan by profession and an advocate for political change, Henri challenges conventional notions of identity and occupation. This image serves as a testament to the diverse range of people who contributed to shaping French society at that time. Displayed within the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art, this mug shot transcends mere documentation; it represents a pivotal moment in history where science meets politics. It reminds us that photography can be both an artistic medium and a powerful tool for understanding human behavior. Through this portrait, we are invited to contemplate not only Henri's personal story but also broader themes such as crime, heritage, anthropology, and political activism – all encapsulated within one striking image frozen in time.
