EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jordy Baptiste, a 61-year-old cobbler from Labardes (Aude), France. Taken in the late 19th century by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases both the artistry and scientific precision of his work. Jordy's arresting gaze reflects not only his occupation but also his political beliefs as an anarchist. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the social and cultural context in which he lived, offering insights into the world of crime and politics during that era. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through this mugshot-like portrait. His meticulous measurement techniques aimed to identify individuals based on physical characteristics, contributing significantly to early forensic science. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing its historical significance and artistic merit. This photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's legacy as one of the pioneers in photography and physical anthropology. As we delve into Jordy Baptiste's story through this image, we are transported back to a time when professions were intertwined with personal identities. It invites us to reflect on how our occupations shape who we are while highlighting the rich heritage captured within each individual portrait from that era.
