EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jacques Etienne Poirier, a 30-year-old man born in Gien, Loiret. The image showcases his striking features and tells a story of rebellion and defiance. Poirier was not just an ordinary individual; he was an anarchist with a strong belief in political freedom. Taken by the renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1892, this albumen silver print is part of a collection that revolutionized identification methods during that era. Bertillon's innovative anthropometric techniques aimed to classify criminals based on their physical characteristics. In this mugshot-style portrait, Poirier's face reflects determination and resilience. His occupation as a wine merchant's assistant adds another layer to his intriguing persona. This photograph serves as evidence of his arrest for unknown reasons, highlighting the complexities of crime and justice in 19th-century France. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece represents more than just an individual; it symbolizes an entire movement rooted in political activism. It stands as a testament to the power of photography as both art form and historical documentation. Alphonse Bertillon's work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to science and law enforcement practices. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the spirit of Jacques Etienne Poirier - a man who defied societal norms while leaving behind an indelible mark on history.
