EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Heurteaux. Auguste. 31 ans, ne a Paris Xe. Polisseur. Anarchiste. 3 / 3 / 94.1894" captures the essence of an intriguing individual from the late 19th century in France. The subject, Auguste Heurteaux, is portrayed as a man of mystery with his piercing gaze and enigmatic smile. At just 31 years old, Heurteaux was born in the vibrant city of Paris and worked as a polisher by trade. However, what sets him apart is his affiliation with anarchism - a political ideology that challenges traditional notions of authority and advocates for individual freedom. Taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned photographer known for his anthropometric techniques used in criminal identification, this mugshot-like portrait showcases both artistry and scientific precision. The photograph serves as evidence of Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology and its application to law enforcement during that era. It highlights the intersection between science and crime prevention while capturing Heurteaux's unique features for future identification purposes. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this albumen silver print offers us a glimpse into French history through one man's face - representing not only his occupation but also his political beliefs within society at that time. As we contemplate this image today, it reminds us how photography can preserve moments from our past while shedding light on important social movements like
