Maince. Emile. 19 ans, né à Levallois-Perret (Seine). Réparateur d'objets d'arts. Anarchiste
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the essence of Maince Emile, a 19-year-old man born in Levallois-Perret (Seine) during the late 19th century. The image is an albumen silver print taken by Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his pioneering work in anthropometry and identification. Emile's piercing gaze reflects both determination and defiance, embodying his anarchist beliefs that challenged societal norms of the time. His occupation as a repairer of art objects hints at his appreciation for craftsmanship and beauty amidst political unrest. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this mugshot-style portrait, which was part of his groundbreaking system used for criminal identification. Through physical anthropology and scientific methods, he aimed to classify individuals based on their unique measurements. As we delve into this historical artifact from France's rich heritage, it serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between politics, science, and individual identity during that era. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate how society has evolved since then while acknowledging the enduring power of visual documentation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's significant contributions to photography and forensic science alike. It offers us a glimpse into Maince Emile's life
