EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of a young man named Joseph Cornuault. At just 17 years old, he stands before us with an air of defiance and determination in his eyes. Joseph was born in Angers, a city nestled in the picturesque region of Maine & Loire in France. His chosen profession as a house painter reflects his practical skills and dedication to craftsmanship. However, it is his political beliefs that truly set him apart - an anarchist at heart. In this mugshot-style portrait, we witness the intersection between art and science as Bertillon's anthropometric techniques are employed for identification purposes. The meticulous measurements taken by Bertillonage were revolutionary for their time, providing valuable insights into criminal investigation methods. As we gaze upon this image from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we cannot help but ponder on the concept of individuality within society and how one's occupation can be intertwined with their political convictions. Cornuault's story serves as a reminder that history is not merely composed of grand events but also shaped by ordinary people who dared to challenge societal norms. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into Joseph Cornuault's world - a young man driven by passion for both his craft and his ideals;
