EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon captures the essence of Francier Eloi, a 41-year-old cabinet maker and anarchist from Resson-le-Long in Aisne, France. Taken in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed by Bertillon to identify criminals. In this portrait, Eloi's stern expression reflects his defiance against societal norms and his commitment to political activism. The photograph not only serves as an identification tool but also reveals the profound connection between photography and science during that era. Bertillonage, a concept developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, revolutionized criminal identification through precise measurements of various body parts. This method aimed to classify individuals based on their physical attributes for law enforcement purposes. Eloi's mugshot is a testament to the intersection of art and heritage within photography. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it represents an important piece of historical documentation capturing both personal identity and political affiliation. As we gaze upon this intriguing image frozen in time, we are reminded of Eloi's unwavering dedication to anarchism amidst a rapidly changing world. His occupation as a cabinetmaker juxtaposed with his radical beliefs further emphasizes the complexity of human nature. Alphonse Bertillon's photographic legacy continues to fascinate us today as we explore the intersections between artistry, anthropology, politics, and crime prevention in our collective history.
