EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Loth. Clotilde, Caroline (femme Bossant), a 43-year-old woman born in Valenciennes. With no profession but a strong affiliation with anarchism, she stands as an intriguing figure of her time. The photograph was taken on April 27th, 1894. In this black and white portrait, we witness the power of photography as a tool for identification and documentation. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through his meticulous attention to detail. This image serves not only as a mug shot but also as an embodiment of the intersection between science and law during that era. Clotilde's arrest is shrouded in mystery; however, her defiant expression hints at her political beliefs and rebellious nature. As one gazes into her eyes, it becomes clear that she defies societal norms and challenges the status quo. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph represents more than just an individual; it encapsulates an entire movement - anarchism - which sought to dismantle hierarchical structures and advocate for personal freedom. Through this remarkable piece of heritage artistry, we are transported back to a time when women like Clotilde fearlessly fought against oppression while leaving their mark on history. It serves as a reminder that even within the confines of society's expectations, individuals can rise above limitations and make their voices heard.
