EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Rochet Theophile, a 24-year-old cobbler from Rennes, France. Taken in the late 19th century by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases his expertise in anthropometry and criminal identification. Rochet's stern yet intriguing gaze draws you into his world as an anarchist. His mugshot-like portrait reflects the political turmoil of the time, highlighting his rebellious spirit against societal norms. The meticulous attention to detail in this photograph is evident through its sharp contrast and impeccable composition. Bertillon's scientific approach to photography is apparent here, as he sought to capture not only Rochet's physical features but also his occupation and personal history. This image serves as a testament to Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for identifying criminals based on their unique body measurements. As we delve deeper into Rochet's story through this remarkable piece of heritage art, we are transported back to a time when science intersected with law enforcement. This photograph stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an individual who dared to challenge societal conventions. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this arresting image invites us to reflect on our own notions of identity, politics, and freedom. It reminds us that even within the constraints imposed upon us by society, there will always be those who defy expectations and leave an indelible mark on history.
