EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Victor Deguet, a 50-year-old armorer and self-proclaimed anarchist. Born on February 27,1844, in Vuenpont (Aisne), France, Deguet's mugshot was taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon on March 16,1894. In this black and white portrait, Deguet's piercing gaze and weathered features tell a story of defiance and rebellion. His occupation as an armorer suggests his involvement with weaponry and perhaps even clandestine activities. The photograph becomes a window into the complex world of political unrest during that time. Bertillonage, a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for criminal identification purposes based on physical measurements such as height and facial features, is evident in this meticulously composed image. It represents the intersection between science and artistry within photography. The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves this remarkable piece as part of its heritage collection. Beyond its historical significance lies an exploration of concepts like identity, crime prevention methods, and social movements prevalent during the late nineteenth century. Victor Deguet stands before us not just as an individual but also as a symbol representing countless others who fought against societal norms through anarchism. This portrait invites viewers to delve into their own interpretations while appreciating the artistic mastery behind Alphonse Bertillon's work.
