EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing face of Jean-Marie Roubichon, a man with a captivating story. Born on June 14,1852, in Vannes, Morbihan, he worked as a mason before becoming entangled in political activism. Roubichon embraced anarchism and its ideals of individual freedom and opposition to authority. Taken on July 2,1894, this arresting image was part of Alphonse Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry. Bertillon developed a system for identifying criminals based on precise body measurements and physical characteristics. His concept revolutionized forensic science and law enforcement practices during the late 19th century. Roubichon's mugshot not only serves as an identification record but also provides insight into his occupation and political affiliation. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece that combines artistry with scientific documentation. In this portrait, Roubichon's features reflect his resilience amidst turbulent times in France. His piercing gaze hints at the determination within him to challenge societal norms through his anarchist beliefs. This photograph is not just an artifact; it represents the intersection between politics and photography during an era when ideas clashed fiercely. As we contemplate this image from our heritage collection, let us remember individuals like Jean-Marie Roubichon who dared to question authority while leaving their mark on history through their actions and convictions.
