EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Martin Pierre, a young man with an intriguing story to tell. At just 22 years old, Martin was born in the charming town of St-Léger in Saône-et-Loire, France. As an employee in the commerce sector, his aspirations seemed ordinary at first glance. However, what sets him apart is his strong affiliation with anarchism - a political ideology that challenges traditional power structures. Captured on February 27th, 1894 - forever etched onto this albumen silver print - we witness Martin's arrest through Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques. This photograph serves as both an identification tool and a testament to the scientific advancements of physical anthropology during that era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing not only Bertillon's expertise but also shedding light on French history and culture from over a century ago. As we gaze upon Martin's portrait today, it sparks curiosity about his motivations as an anarchist living in a time when such ideologies were met with resistance from society and law enforcement alike. Alphonse Bertillon's work transcends mere photography; it
