EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Georges Delabie, a 43-year-old mechanic from Ganaches (Somme), France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection of art, science, and politics during the late 19th century. Georges Delabie's striking appearance is marked by his thick beard and intense gaze. His anarchistic beliefs are boldly proclaimed through his mugshot-like portrait. This image serves as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry, an innovative method used for criminal identification at that time. The photograph not only reveals Delabie's occupation but also hints at a deeper narrative surrounding crime and political unrest in France during this period. It offers a glimpse into the world of physical anthropology and its role in understanding human behavior within society. Preserved with great care by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rare artifact provides us with valuable insight into both historical context and individual identity. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of how photography can capture not only faces but also stories that transcend time.
