EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing mugshot of Masini (dit Mazzini), Angelo Henri, a 25-year-old cabinet maker and self-proclaimed anarchist from Milan, Italy. Taken on September 1,1894, by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white portrait showcases the meticulous detail and scientific approach that characterized his work. Bertillon's pioneering method of bertillonage aimed to identify individuals based on precise measurements of their physical features. This photograph is not only an arresting image but also serves as a testament to the intersection between art and science in criminal identification during that era. Masini's defiant gaze reflects his political beliefs as an anarchist amidst a time when France was grappling with social unrest. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this significant piece within its collection, representing both historical documentation and artistic expression. Beyond its aesthetic value, this print offers us a glimpse into the life and occupation of Masini - a skilled cabinetmaker who chose to challenge societal norms through his political activism. It reminds us that every individual has their own story to tell within the broader context of history. As we observe this image today, let it serve as a reminder of the power photography holds in preserving our collective heritage while shedding light on important socio-political movements that have shaped our world.
