EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "LaumesfeIt. Paul, Mathias. 35 ans, ne le 29/3/59. a Paris VIe" captures the essence of an intriguing man named Paul Mathias. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of early photography. Paul Mathias, a tailor by profession and an anarchist by conviction, stares directly into the camera with his intense gaze and distinctive facial hair. His neatly trimmed mustache adds character to his rugged appearance while hinting at the rebellious spirit that defines him as an individual. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mug shot-style portrait. The meticulous measurement techniques used for identification purposes are showcased through precise composition and lighting choices. This photograph not only captures Paul's physical features but also provides insight into his political beliefs and occupation. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to late 19th-century France – a time when social unrest was prevalent, crime rates were high, and political ideologies clashed fiercely on the streets of Paris. Displayed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection today, this image serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as identity politics, societal norms versus personal convictions, and the power of visual representation in shaping our understanding of individuals who lived long ago.
