EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon features Forti Ernesta, a dairy worker and anarchist born in Lodi, Italy. At the age of 45 or 46, she was arrested on February 27th, 1894. The photograph showcases her as a strong-willed woman with an air of defiance. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-style portrait. His meticulous measurements and precise documentation aimed to identify individuals based on their physical characteristics. This scientific approach revolutionized criminal identification methods during that time. Forti Ernesta's occupation as a milkmaid adds an intriguing layer to her story. Despite working in the dairy industry, she embraced anarchism—a political ideology advocating for the abolition of all forms of authority and hierarchy. The black-and-white composition enhances the intensity and seriousness captured within Forti Ernesta's gaze. Her portrait serves as a testament to the diverse range of people who were involved in political movements during this era. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only highlights Bertillon's contribution to forensic science but also provides insight into the social landscape of France during that period. It reminds us that behind every historical figure lies a complex narrative waiting to be discovered—an eternal reminder that women like Forti Ernesta played significant roles in shaping our world through their actions and beliefs.
