EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Malpet Jeanne, a remarkable woman from 19th-century France. At 51 years old, born in May '42, she is portrayed as a couturiere - a skilled seamstress who brings life to fabrics with her needle and thread. However, there is more to Jeanne than meets the eye. Her unconventional spirit shines through as we learn that she identifies herself as an anarchist. This revelation adds depth to her portrait, showcasing her rebellious nature and desire for societal change during a time when conformity was expected. The photograph itself is an albumen silver print taken by Alphonse Bertillon, known for his pioneering work in anthropology and anthropometry. His expertise in physical anthropology allowed him to capture not only the external appearance but also the inner essence of his subjects. As we gaze at this image displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness Jeanne's unique identity within French society. Her mug shot-like portrayal hints at possible encounters with the law or involvement in criminal activities - elements that further intrigue us about her story. Through this powerful photograph, Bertillon masterfully combines artistry and science to immortalize Malpet Jeanne's legacy as a strong-willed woman defying societal norms while pursuing her passion for sewing amidst turbulent times.
