EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Marie Adolphe Deherme, a 26-year-old publicist and anarchist from Paris. Taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this black and white mugshot showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed by Bertillon to identify criminals. Deherme's stern expression reflects his rebellious nature as an advocate for anarchism during a time of political unrest in France. The photograph serves as both documentation of his arrest and a testament to the power of photography as a tool for law enforcement. Bertillonage, developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, revolutionized criminal identification through precise measurements and physical characteristics. This scientific approach to crime investigation laid the foundation for modern forensic anthropology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, representing not only an important historical artifact but also a captivating glimpse into French society at that time. The print offers us insight into Deherme's occupation as a publicist while shedding light on the broader political landscape he was part of. As we contemplate this image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide valuable insights into our shared human history.
