This print captures the essence of Daguenet Eugerne Carolin, a 39-year-old cabinet maker from Granville, Manche. Taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases his expertise in anthropometry and criminal identification. Daguenet's stern yet intriguing expression reflects the turbulent times he lived in as an anarchist during the late 19th century. The meticulous details captured by Bertillon's lens not only serve as a visual record but also shed light on the intersection between art and science. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this remarkable piece that transcends time and place. It serves as a testament to France's rich heritage while offering insights into the political landscape of that era. Bertillonage, a groundbreaking concept developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, revolutionized forensic science and law enforcement practices. This mug shot is more than just an arresting image; it represents a pivotal moment in history when photography became an indispensable tool for identifying criminals. As we gaze upon Daguenet's portrait today, we are reminded of his occupation as a skilled craftsman who found solace amidst political turmoil. This photograph encapsulates both his individuality and his connection to society at large. Through Heritage Images' preservation efforts, this extraordinary artifact continues to inspire us with its fusion of artistry and scientific inquiry—a true testament to humanity's quest for knowledge across centuries.
