This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the renowned Alphonse Bertillon, showcases a striking portrait of Joseph Simonin. At the tender age of 26, born in Saint-Maurice (Seine), Joseph was already an accomplished gainier - a skilled craftsman specializing in upholstery and cabinetmaking. However, it is his political affiliation that truly sets him apart - an unyielding anarchist. The monochromatic black and white composition adds to the intensity of this image as we delve into the world of anthropometry and criminal identification. Through Bertillon's meticulous approach, he captures not only Joseph's physical features but also his defiant spirit. Intriguingly framed within the context of French society during this era, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the turbulent times marked by social unrest and political upheaval.
