EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Notelez. Charles, emile. 29 ans, ne a Paris XXe. Portefeuilliste" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometric photography. The black and white portrait showcases a man named Charles Emile Notelez, who was arrested in France on February 26th, 1894. Bertillonage, as pioneered by Alphonse Bertillon himself, revolutionized identification methods during that era. This photograph serves as both an artistic piece and a scientific record of criminal anthropology. The image captures the essence of Notelez's character through his stern expression and piercing gaze. His occupation as a portefeuilliste (wallet maker) is intriguingly juxtaposed with his anarchist beliefs - an aspect that adds depth to this arresting portrait. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rare mugshot exemplifies how art can intersect with politics and science seamlessly. It stands as a testament to the historical significance of Bertillon's work in law enforcement and physical anthropology. As we observe this remarkable photograph today, it allows us to reflect upon our shared heritage while contemplating the evolution of crime detection techniques over time. Through its powerful visual narrative, "Notelez" invites us to delve deeper into the complexities of identity and societal structures within late-19th century France.
