EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edouard Landschoot, a 27-year-old jeweler from Paris. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection between art and science during the 19th century. Edouard's portrait is not just a simple photograph; it tells a story of rebellion and political ideology. As an anarchist, he defied societal norms and fought against oppressive systems. The mugshot-like composition adds to the intrigue, hinting at his involvement in criminal activities or perhaps his arrest due to his radical beliefs. Bertillonage, a pioneering anthropometric system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, was used for identification purposes in law enforcement during that time. This image serves as both documentation and evidence of Edouard's existence within this historical context. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece as part of their heritage collection. Through its preservation, we are reminded not only of Edouard's individuality but also of the broader political landscape that shaped him. As we gaze upon this striking image today, let us appreciate how photography can capture more than just physical appearances. It immortalizes moments in history while shedding light on personal stories intertwined with larger social movements like anarchism.
