EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing figure of Jean-Baptiste Ruaud, a 35-year-old cobbler from Limoges. Born on July 28,1858, Ruaud is not your ordinary shoemaker. He proudly identifies as an anarchist and his political beliefs are etched into the lines on his face. Taken by renowned French photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this black and white mug shot serves as both an identification record and a glimpse into the world of criminal anthropology. Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry sought to link physical characteristics with criminal behavior. In this portrait, Ruaud's stern expression speaks volumes about his defiance towards societal norms. His arrest may have been prompted by his involvement in political activities or perhaps even acts of civil disobedience against the establishment. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph showcases how photography can be used not only for artistic purposes but also for scientific documentation. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be uncovered. As we gaze upon Ruaud's image today, we cannot help but wonder about the impact he had on society during those turbulent times. This snapshot invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and question whether we too possess that same rebellious spirit within us.
