EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the talented Alphonse Bertillon, showcases a striking portrait of David Armand. At the age of 27, born in Gien (Loiret), Armand was not only a skilled ceramicist but also an ardent anarchist. The monochromatic black and white tones add depth to this thought-provoking image. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he masterfully captures every detail of Armand's face. This mugshot-like photograph serves as an important historical document, reflecting the era's fascination with physical anthropology and its application in criminal identification. Arrested on March 1st, 1894, Armand's rebellious nature is palpable through his piercing gaze and defiant expression. His occupation as a faiencier adds another layer to his complex persona - blending artistry with political activism. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork transports us back to a time when politics and science intertwined. It invites viewers to delve into the concept of anarchism during that period while contemplating how individuals like Armand challenged societal norms. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bertillon's collection, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its significance within the context of history. Through photography, we are granted glimpses into lives lived long ago – each frame telling stories that transcend time itself.
