EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Jacob Hermann Kern, a 33-year-old accountant hailing from Berlinger, Switzerland. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases Kern's arresting presence. Kern's profession as an accountant is juxtaposed with his intriguing political affiliation as an anarchist. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the complex sociopolitical landscape of the late 19th century. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific approach, Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for criminal identification - is evident in this mugshot-like portrait. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this significant piece within their collection, highlighting its historical importance in both art and anthropology. The image not only offers insight into Kern's physical appearance but also provides valuable information about his occupation and country of origin. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever through the lens of Alphonse Bertillon. It serves as a reminder that photography can capture more than just faces; it can encapsulate stories, ideologies, and even political movements that shape our world.
