EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Moreau Francois, a 47-year-old carpenter from Nevers (Nievre), France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the intersection of art, anthropology, and politics during the late 19th century. Moreau's stern yet intriguing expression reflects his anarchist beliefs as indicated by his occupation listed on the mugshot - "Menuisier: Anarchiste". This image is not just a mere portrait but also serves as an identification tool for law enforcement purposes. Bertillon's innovative anthropometric system aimed to classify criminals based on physical measurements, making this photograph an important artifact in the history of criminology. The detailed craftsmanship evident in this photograph highlights both its artistic value and historical significance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this piece as part of their heritage collection, showcasing its enduring impact on photography and scientific advancements. As we gaze upon Moreau's face frozen in time, we are transported back to a period when political ideologies clashed amidst social unrest. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into Moreau's world - a man who defied societal norms with his radical beliefs.

It reminds us that even though decades have passed since it was taken, photographs like these continue to hold immense power to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation about our shared human
