Francois dit Francis - A Captivating Glimpse into the Life of an Anarchist Cabinet Maker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing 19th-century albumen print, captured by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, offers a captivating window into the life of Francois dit Francis. At 38 years old, born on December 3rd, 1855 in Reims (Marne), France, Francois was not just an ordinary cabinet maker but also an ardent anarchist. In this black and white portrait, Francois gazes directly at the camera with a sense of defiance and determination. His rugged features tell tales of resilience and rebellion against societal norms. The photograph serves as more than just a mugshot; it is a testament to his political beliefs and unwavering spirit.
