EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the essence of Perrare Antoine, a 53-year-old mechanic hailing from St Diaur in Rhone. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Perrare's striking features and unruly beard. Perrare's mugshot-like portrait not only serves as an identification tool but also delves into his political leanings. Anarchism is boldly stated beneath his name, hinting at his rebellious spirit and non-conformist beliefs. This image becomes more than just a mere record; it becomes a snapshot of history and social commentary. Bertillonage, the anthropometric system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, plays a significant role in this photograph. It was used to measure physical characteristics for criminal identification purposes during that era. Perrare's arrest on October 3rd, 1894 adds another layer to this intriguing narrative. The black and white composition enhances the timeless quality of this piece while highlighting the stark contrast between light and shadow on Perrare's face. As we gaze upon this image today at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness not only one man's story but also gain insight into French society during the late 19th century. Through photography as both art form and scientific tool, Alphonse Bertillon has captured more than just an individual; he has preserved a moment frozen in time—a testament to human complexity within historical context.
