EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the essence of Joseph Fischter, a man whose life story unfolds through his arresting gaze and intriguing occupation as an anarchist wallpaper printer in late 19th century France. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous attention to detail that characterized Bertillon's anthropometric identification system – a groundbreaking concept at the time. In this portrait, Fischter's face reveals both determination and defiance; his eyes seem to hold secrets of rebellion against societal norms. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the political climate during that era when anarchism was gaining momentum as a radical movement challenging established authority. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also highlights the intersection between art and science prevalent during the late 19th century period known for advancements in physical anthropology and criminal identification techniques pioneered by figures like Bertillon. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this mugshot-turned-artwork invites viewers to contemplate not only Fischter's individuality but also broader themes such as identity, crime, politics, and human resilience. Through its monochromatic beauty and thought-provoking subject matter, this striking image transports us back in time while reminding us of our shared humanity across centuries - an enduring testament
