EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sost. Edmond, a 30-year-old ciseleur from Serqueux (Seine-Inferieure), born on November 15,1864. Taken by renowned French photographer Alphonse Bertillon in July 1894, this image is part of his groundbreaking anthropometric collection. Sost. Edmond's piercing gaze and defiant expression reveal more than just a mugshot; they reflect his anarchist beliefs and political activism during a time of social unrest in France. This photograph serves as both an identification tool for law enforcement and a testament to the power of visual anthropology. Bertillon's meticulous approach to photography allowed him to develop the concept of "bertillonage" which revolutionized criminal identification techniques in the late 19th century. His work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases not only his technical mastery but also his contribution to the field of physical anthropology. As we delve into this intriguing portrait, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where crime, politics, and science intersected with remarkable intensity. Sost. Edmond becomes more than just a subject; he represents an entire generation marked by rebellion against societal norms. Through this rare glimpse into history captured through Bertillon's lens, we are reminded that photographs have the power to transcend time and tell stories that go beyond mere documentation - stories that speak volumes about our shared human experience.
