EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sicard Andre, a 32-year-old jeweler from Nîmes, born on October 25th, 1862. The image was taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in July 1894. Sicard Andre's striking portrait is not just an ordinary photograph; it serves as a significant historical document reflecting the turbulent times of late 19th-century France. This arresting mugshot showcases his anarchist beliefs and political affiliation, making him a subject of interest for law enforcement authorities. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this meticulously composed image. His innovative method of measuring physical features played a crucial role in criminal identification during that era. Through this portrait, we gain insight into the concept of scientific photography merging with law enforcement practices. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable artifact that represents both artistry and historical significance. It stands as a testament to the intersection between photography, anthropology, and politics during an era marked by social unrest. As we gaze upon Sicard Andre's intense expression and contemplate his occupation as a jeweler turned anarchist activist, we are reminded of how images can transcend time and provide us with glimpses into people's lives from centuries past.
