EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the intriguing figure of Dupit Paul, a 20-year-old butcher boy from Paris. Born on March 13,1874, in the XVIIe arrondissement of the city, Paul exudes an air of rebellion and defiance as he stands before us. His anarchistic beliefs are boldly proclaimed through his mug shot taken on July 2,1894. Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric measurements capture not only Paul's physical features but also his political leanings. This photograph exemplifies the intersection between science and art as it delves into concepts of identification and criminal anthropology prevalent during that era. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this historical document while emphasizing the seriousness of its subject matter. As we gaze upon this arresting portrait, we cannot help but wonder about Paul's story—his motivations, struggles, and aspirations within a country grappling with crime and social unrest. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image serves as a testament to both Bertillon's pioneering work in forensic photography and our enduring fascination with individuals who challenge societal norms. It is through such visual relics that we gain insight into past professions like butchery—a vital part of France's heritage—and glimpse into the complex tapestry woven by people like Dupit Paul during their time in history.
