EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the portrait of Francois Louis Duprat, a 34-year-old wine merchant from St-Martin (Gers), France. The photograph was taken on April 27,1892, by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned anthropologist and pioneer in criminal identification techniques. Duprat's mugshot is part of an extensive collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that showcases Bertillon's groundbreaking work in physical anthropology and forensic science. This particular image highlights the intersection between politics and crime during this era. Notably labeled as an anarchist, Duprat represents a fascinating chapter in French history where political ideologies clashed with societal norms. His arrest likely stemmed from his involvement in radical movements advocating for social change. Bertillon's meticulous approach to documenting individuals' physical characteristics played a crucial role in identifying criminals and establishing their guilt or innocence. Through his innovative system known as "bertillonage" he standardized measurements such as height, weight, facial features, and body proportions to create detailed records for law enforcement purposes. This black-and-white photograph not only serves as evidence of Duprat's encounter with the law but also offers us a glimpse into the complex dynamics between politics, crime, and personal identity during this transformative period in France's heritage.
