Gregoire. Alphonse. 27 ans, ne a La Montagne (Loire-Inferieure) - A Glimpse into the Anarchist's Portrait
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Gregoire Alphonse, a 27-year-old mechanic from La Montagne in Loire-Inferieure, France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases not only the physical features of Gregoire but also his political beliefs as an anarchist. Intriguingly framed against a plain backdrop, Gregoire's stern expression reflects his defiance towards societal norms and authority. His mugshot-like portrait serves as evidence of his arrest for engaging in activities that challenged the established order. The meticulous anthropometric measurements conducted by Bertillon further emphasize the scientific approach used to identify individuals during that era. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph is a testament to both artistry and documentation. It exemplifies how photography can capture not just moments but also personalities and ideologies frozen in time. As we gaze upon this image today at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to an era where political unrest fueled passions and inspired change. Alphonse Bertillon's work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to criminal identification techniques and physical anthropology studies. This particular photograph stands as a powerful reminder of one man's determination to challenge social conventions while leaving behind an indelible mark on history.
