EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornu. Eugene. 25 ans, ne a Paris XXe le 27 / 3 / 94. Cordonnier. Anarchiste (Cornu. Eugene. 25 ans, ne a Paris XXe le 27/3/94. Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 2/7/94.1894) captures the essence of an intriguing individual from the late nineteenth century in France - Eugene Cornu, a cobbler by profession and an anarchist by conviction. This black and white albumen print is part of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometric collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing his pioneering work in criminal identification during that era. The photograph reveals Cornu's stern yet defiant gaze as he stands against a plain backdrop, his features meticulously captured through Bertillonage techniques - a scientific method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself to measure various physical attributes for accurate identification purposes. Cornu's mugshot serves as both documentation and testament to his political beliefs, highlighting the intersection between crime and politics during this tumultuous period in French history. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the life of an ordinary man who dared to challenge societal norms and advocate for radical change within his country. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of heritage art, it reminds us that even amidst adversity and social unrest, individuals like Eugene Cornu played their part in shaping our world today.
