EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Leballeur. Jules, Leon" captures the essence of a man named Jules Leballeur, aged 29 or 30, born in Rouisse Jassee (Sarthe). The image showcases his occupation as a cordonnier (cobbler) and his strong affiliation with anarchism. Taken on March 1st, 1894, this black and white albumen silver print is an exemplary work by Alphonse Bertillon. Bertillonage, a concept developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, was employed in this photograph to aid in identification purposes. This mug shot serves as evidence of Leballeur's arrest due to his involvement in political activities related to anarchism during that time period. With meticulous attention to detail and scientific precision, Bertillon captured not only Leballeur's physical appearance but also his profession and political leanings. This portrait stands as a testament to the intersection between photography and anthropology within the context of criminal law enforcement. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this nineteenth-century artifact offers us a glimpse into French history while highlighting the significance of photography as both an art form and a tool for documentation. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be discovered - one that reflects personal choices influenced by societal circumstances.
