EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fauvel Louis, a 27-year-old woodworker from Orne, France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intricate details of Fauvel's face and features. Fauvel's piercing gaze reflects his strong-willed nature as an anarchist, evident by the inscription on the photograph. The image serves as both a portrait and an identification mugshot, showcasing how photography was utilized for anthropological purposes during that era. Alphonse Bertillon's innovative concept of bertillonage is showcased in this photograph. By using precise measurements and physical anthropology techniques, he aimed to create a scientific approach to criminal identification. This particular image highlights his expertise in capturing not only Fauvel's appearance but also his occupation as a turner. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is part of their heritage art collection. It stands as a testament to the intersection between art and science during the 19th century. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only Fauvel Louis' individuality but also gain insights into political movements like anarchism that shaped French society during that period. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, let us appreciate its historical significance and reflect upon how photography continues to be an invaluable tool for documenting our pasts.
