EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Landoin. Antoine, Eugene. 33 ans, ne le 16/11/60 a Quincie (Rhone)" captures the essence of an intriguing individual from the 19th century. Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned photographer and anthropologist, skillfully portrays this enigmatic figure in black and white. Antoine Eugene Landoin, aged 33 at the time of his arrest on March 16th, 1894, was not just an ordinary man but also a talented accountant with unconventional beliefs. He proudly identified himself as an anarchist - someone who challenged societal norms and advocated for political freedom. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this arresting mugshot. The meticulous measurements taken by him were integral to identifying criminals during that era. This photograph serves as both a historical document and a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology. Landoin's stern expression hints at his rebellious nature while simultaneously reflecting the seriousness of his alleged crime within the context of late-19th-century France. His occupation as an accountant adds another layer to his complex character - blending numbers with politics. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print carries immense cultural significance as it showcases not only one man's story but also sheds light on French history during that period. It stands as a reminder of how photography can capture more than just appearances; it can encapsulate personal narratives and contribute to our understanding of society at large
