EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Rette Adolphe, a 30-year-old man born in Paris IXe. The photograph captures his intriguing persona as a man of letters, exuding an air of intellectualism and mystery. With his seductive gaze and enigmatic smile, Rette Adolphe seems to possess a rebellious spirit that is reflected in the defiant expression on his face. Bertillon's expertise in anthropology and anthropometry is evident in this meticulously composed black and white portrait. The mug shot style adds an element of criminality to the image, hinting at Rette Adolphe's involvement with seditious activities on January 21st, 1894. This photograph serves not only as an identification tool but also as a testament to the scientific advancements made during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to late 19th-century France—a time when crime was rampant and society grappled with issues of law enforcement and justice. Rette Adolphe becomes more than just a subject; he represents the struggles faced by individuals within their country. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print stands as a testament to Bertillon's skillful documentation of people through photography. It allows us to peer into the life of one man who defied societal norms—an author whose words may have challenged conventions or sparked controversy. Through this remarkable piece of heritage art
