Robyns. Emile. 36 ans, né à Lumone (Belgique). Marchand de Pierres (?). Anarchiste. 28/2/94.1894)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon captures the enigmatic figure of Robyns Emile, a Belgian-born man at the age of 36. The image showcases his intriguing occupation as a stone merchant, although there is uncertainty denoted by the question mark in parentheses. However, it is his association with anarchism that truly piques curiosity and adds an element of rebellion to this portrait from the late 19th century. In an era marked by political unrest and social upheaval, Robyns Emile's anarchist beliefs make him a fascinating subject for study. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry shines through in this mugshot-style photograph, which was part of his groundbreaking work on identification techniques for law enforcement agencies during that time period. This scientific approach to capturing physical attributes played a crucial role in criminal investigations and forensic science development. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image not only serves as historical documentation but also represents the intersection between art and science within photography. It offers us a glimpse into the complex world of crime and politics while showcasing Bertillon's significant contribution to both fields. As we gaze upon Robyns Emile's arresting gaze frozen in time, we are reminded of how photographs can capture not just moments but also
