EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Morvan. Felicien. 45 ans, ne le 8/6/49 a Kerity (Cote du Nord)" captures the intriguing story of a man named Felicien Morvan. Born on June 8,1849, in Kerity, Cote du Nord, France, Morvan was a skilled carpenter by profession but identified himself as an anarchist. Taken on July 2,1894, this black and white albumen silver print is part of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometric collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Bertillon was renowned for his pioneering work in criminal identification using photography and physical anthropology. In this arresting portrait, Morvan's stern expression reflects the turbulent times he lived in—a period marked by political unrest and social upheaval. His mugshot serves as evidence of his encounter with the law enforcement authorities due to his anarchist beliefs. This photograph not only documents Morvan's personal history but also provides valuable insight into the concept of anarchism during the late nineteenth century in France. It stands as a testament to how photography can capture both individual stories and broader societal movements. As we delve into this heritage art piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and acknowledge the role it plays in preserving our collective memory.
