EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Pallaz (ou Pellaz). Peronne. 28 ans, nee le 11/8/66 à Aix-les-Bains (Savoie). Cuisiere. Anarchiste. 8/3/94.1894" captures the essence of a woman named Pallaz or Pellaz at the age of 28. Born on August 11,1866 in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie, she was known for her culinary skills and strong anarchist beliefs. The photograph is part of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometric collection and showcases his pioneering work in criminal identification and physical anthropology during that era. In this arresting black-and-white mug shot taken on March 8,1894, Pallaz exudes an air of defiance as she stares directly into the camera lens. Her portrait not only reflects her individuality but also represents a larger political movement prevalent in France at the time. As an anarchist cook living in the countryside, Pallaz challenged societal norms and fought against oppressive systems through her activism. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this image stands as a testament to both scientific advancements and political resistance during the late nineteenth century. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous documentation provides us with insight into not only Pallaz's personal history but also serves as a reminder of how photography can be used to capture moments that transcend time
