EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Naudet Gervais, a 40-year-old carpenter from Echaleau in Cote-d Or. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases both the artistry and scientific precision that defined his work. Naudet's portrait reveals more than just his occupation; it offers a glimpse into his political beliefs as well. An anarchist at heart, he proudly identifies himself as such, challenging societal norms and advocating for radical change. This image becomes an intriguing intersection between anthropology and politics, shedding light on the diverse ideologies that shaped French society during the late 19th century. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through this mugshot-style photograph. His meticulous attention to detail allowed him to create a system of identification based on physical measurements—a groundbreaking concept at the time. By capturing Naudet's features with remarkable clarity, Bertillon aimed to contribute to law enforcement efforts while simultaneously elevating photography as a legitimate science. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this historic artifact serves as a testament to both Naudet's individuality and France's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of an era when photography was not only an artistic pursuit but also played a crucial role in understanding human behavior and criminal investigation. As we gaze upon this striking image today, we are transported back to a time when men like Naudet challenged conventions and fought for
