EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the essence of Louis Klein, a young man with an intriguing story to tell. Taken in the late 19th century by Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the artistry and scientific precision of early photography. Louis Klein, a resident of Colmar in Alsace, was just 25 years old when this portrait was taken. With his neatly trimmed mustache and intense gaze, he exudes both confidence and defiance - qualities that align with his political beliefs as an anarchist. Employed in the field of commerce at the time, Klein's mugshot-like image suggests that he had encountered trouble with the law on November 3rd, 1894. The meticulous anthropometric measurements captured by Bertillon highlight his interest in physical anthropology and its application to criminal identification. Beyond its historical significance as evidence of early forensic science techniques pioneered by Bertillonage, this photograph offers us a glimpse into French society during this period. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary individuals like Louis Klein lies untold stories waiting to be discovered. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this heritage artwork invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as identity politics and societal unrest prevalent during that era while appreciating the artistic mastery behind Alphonse Bertillon
