EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by Alphonse Bertillon in the late 19th century. This albumen silver print from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection offers an intriguing glimpse into history. The image portrays Galau Charles, an enigmatic young man who was arrested for his involvement in anarchism and political unrest during that time period in France. With his intense gaze and disheveled appearance, he exudes defiance against societal norms. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he meticulously captures every detail of Galau's physical features for identification purposes - a practice known as "bertillonage". The photograph serves as both evidence of criminal activity and documentation of the era's scientific advancements in forensic photography. This thought-provoking portrait not only sheds light on Galau's personal story but also reflects the turbulent political climate of France at that time, where anarchist movements were gaining momentum. As we contemplate this historical artifact today, it reminds us of the power of visual storytelling to capture moments frozen in time and preserve our collective heritage for future generations to explore and learn from.
