EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the intriguing world of the late 19th century. The image features Forti Alfred, an enigmatic young man with a rebellious spirit, born in Milan, Italy. At just eighteen years old, Alfred defied societal norms as both a restaurateur and an anarchist - two seemingly contrasting identities that reflect his complex character. His mugshot-like portrait captures his defiant gaze and hints at the turbulent times he lived in. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this photograph; it was taken during his pioneering work on physical anthropology for identification purposes within law enforcement agencies. This image serves as a testament to Bertillon's significant contributions to forensic science during this era. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported to France - the country where this arresting scene unfolded. It offers us a glimpse into the political climate of the time and reminds us of how individuals like Alfred challenged established systems through their beliefs. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this albumen silver print holds not only artistic value but also cultural significance as it documents an individual who dared to defy conventions and embrace radical ideologies amidst social unrest. Through its timeless appeal and rich historical context, this photograph invites viewers to contemplate themes of identity
