EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, showcases Emile Auguste Maurin at the age of 31. Born in Marseille, France, Maurin was not only a former photographer but also an ardent anarchist. The image is a mugshot captured as part of Bertillon's pioneering anthropometric system. Bertillonage revolutionized identification methods during that era by using precise measurements to classify individuals based on physical characteristics. This particular portrait highlights Maurin's features with remarkable clarity and detail. The photograph serves as a testament to the intersection between science and law enforcement in the late 19th century. It captures not only Maurin's appearance but also his political beliefs, providing insight into the social climate of that time. As we gaze upon this historic print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of how photography can transcend mere documentation and become a powerful tool for understanding our past. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into Maurin's life - his defiance against societal norms and his commitment to anarchism. Displayed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this photograph stands as both artistry and historical artifact. Its monochromatic tones evoke a sense of mystery while inviting us to contemplate the complexities of identity and politics in turn-of-the-century France.
