EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Foussard. Eugene, a 26-year-old house painter from Dangeul, Sarthe. Taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and photographer, this image showcases not only the physical features of its subject but also his political beliefs. Eugene's anarchistic views are evident through his piercing gaze and defiant expression. The meticulous details captured by Bertillon's anthropometric techniques highlight the scientific approach used to identify criminals during that era. This mug shot serves as both an artistic portrait and a record of Eugene's arrest. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into late 19th-century France, where social unrest was prevalent. It reflects the intersection between art and science as well as politics and law enforcement. As we delve into this historical artifact displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can appreciate how photography played a crucial role in documenting individuals' identities for criminal investigations. Beyond its historical significance, this print is a testament to human resilience and individuality amidst societal constraints. Eugene's profession as a house painter adds another layer to his story - he defied conventional norms while pursuing his passion for art. Through Heritage Images' preservation efforts, this remarkable piece allows us to explore our shared heritage while contemplating the complexities of identity formation within society.
