EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Favre Sebastien, a 36-year-old negotiator born in St Etienne (Loire). The image, taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, showcases the intricate details of this historical figure's life. Favre Sebastien's portrait reveals more than just his physical appearance; it provides a glimpse into his political beliefs and legal troubles. Labeled as an anarchist with prohibited possession of firearms, he represents the rebellious spirit that characterized the era. This mugshot serves as evidence of his arrest and involvement in criminal activities. Alphonse Bertillon was not only a talented photographer but also an anthropologist who pioneered anthropometry - the scientific measurement of human features for identification purposes. His expertise is evident in this meticulously composed albumen silver print. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece from the 19th century, showcasing its significance within French heritage art. Through photography, science intertwines with politics to create a thought-provoking concept that transcends time. As we gaze upon Favre Sebastien's arresting portrait, we are transported back to an era where trade and commerce intertwined with social unrest. This photograph encapsulates both the individuality and collective struggles faced by people during that period – a testament to how art can capture history's most intriguing moments.
