EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases three intriguing individuals named Hervy, Marcel, and Noel. At the tender age of 19, these young men were born in Paris XVIIIe and are depicted as porcelain repairers. However, there is more to their story than meets the eye. The year this photograph was taken was 1893, a time when anarchism was gaining momentum as a political movement. It is revealed that Marcel identifies himself as an anarchist in his mug shot captured by Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for criminal identification purposes. Bertillon's meticulous approach to anthropometry allowed him to accurately measure physical features of criminals for identification purposes. This scientific method revolutionized law enforcement during that era. As we gaze into their eyes through this century-old portrait, we can't help but wonder about their lives beyond this moment frozen in time. What led them down the path of anarchism? How did they navigate the turbulent political landscape of France at that time? This photograph not only serves as a historical artifact but also sparks our curiosity about these enigmatic figures from the past. It reminds us of how art can transcend its medium and transport us back to another era where politics, science, and personal stories intertwine within one frame.
