EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mursch. Eugene. 24 ans a Schlestatt (Bas-Rhin). Ciseleur. Anarchiste. 18 / 3 / 94" showcases the intriguing work of Alphonse Bertillon in the late 19th century. The image captures the essence of an era characterized by political unrest and social upheaval. In this arresting portrait, we see a young man named Eugene Mursch, aged 24 at the time, from Schlestatt in Bas-Rhin, France. He is identified as a skilled ciseleur (engraver) and proudly proclaims his anarchist beliefs through his mugshot. Alphonse Bertillon was renowned for his pioneering work in anthropometry - a scientific method used to identify criminals based on physical measurements and characteristics. This photograph exemplifies Bertillon's meticulous approach to capturing detailed information about individuals involved in criminal activities. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable albumen silver print that serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document. It offers us a glimpse into French society during the late 19th century when political ideologies clashed and tensions ran high. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the power that photography holds not only as an art form but also as a tool for documentation and understanding our complex human history.
