EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pierre Yves Moucheraud, a 27-year-old printer from Paris IVe. Taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned anthropologist and pioneer of criminal identification techniques, this image showcases Moucheraud's arresting presence. Moucheraud's anarchistic beliefs are evident in his piercing gaze and defiant expression. His mugshot-like portrait serves as a testament to his political activism during a time when France was grappling with social unrest and political upheaval. The meticulous details captured through the albumen silver print technique highlight Bertillon's scientific approach to photography and physical anthropology. As an imprint on history, this photograph not only documents Moucheraud's occupation but also provides insight into the societal context of the late 19th century. It symbolizes the struggle for individual freedom amidst a rigid law enforcement system. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as part of our cultural heritage—a reminder that art can transcend its medium to convey powerful messages about politics, identity, and human experience. Through this image, we glimpse into both Moucheraud's life story and the broader narrative of French society during that era.
