EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Parisis Charles, a 20-year-old tailor from Aubervilliers in Seine. The photograph, taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1893, showcases the unique blend of art and science that characterized his work. Bertillon's expertise in physical anthropology and identification techniques is evident in this mugshot-style image. Through his revolutionary system known as "bertillonage" he aimed to standardize criminal identification by measuring various body parts and recording personal details. This particular photograph was taken after Charles' arrest for anarchist activities, highlighting the political climate of France during that time. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic value. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to an era where photography served not only as a means of documentation but also as a medium for understanding society's complexities. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering contributions to forensic science. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Charles were shaped by their occupation within the context of their country's political landscape. Through this thought-provoking image, we are invited to explore concepts such as crime, heritage art, and identity while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind each tailored garment worn by men like Parisis Charles.
