Handrock. Frederic (k). Vilhem. 34 ans, ne a Lyeck (Allemagne) - A Captivating Glimpse into the Life of an Anarchist
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures the enigmatic figure of Handrock. Frederic (k). Vilhem. , a 34-year-old wood gilder hailing from Lyeck, Germany. Taken in 1894 by renowned French photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases not only the artistry of photography but also provides valuable insights into anthropology and criminal identification. Handrock's mugshot-like portrait reveals his arrest for anarchist activities during a time when political unrest was rife across Europe. His piercing gaze and unkempt appearance speak volumes about his rebellious spirit and defiance against societal norms. Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric measurements further emphasize the scientific approach employed in identifying criminals at that time. This photograph serves as both evidence of Handrock's involvement in anarchism and a testament to Bertillonage - the revolutionary system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for precise criminal identification. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes clear that it is more than just a historical artifact; it represents an era marked by political turmoil and social change. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this piece as part of its heritage collection, allowing us to reflect on our past while contemplating the complexities of human nature. Let us remember Handrock's story as we explore how
