EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Soulage. Alphonse, Charles. 30 ans, ne a Lyon. Menuisier. Anarchiste. 1 / 3 / 94" takes us back to the late 19th century in France, where Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry and criminal identification was at its peak. In this arresting portrait, we see a man named Alphonse Soulage - a thirty-year-old carpenter from Lyon who proudly identifies as an anarchist. The image captures his essence with remarkable clarity, showcasing the meticulousness of Bertillon's photographic technique. Bertillon's work revolutionized forensic science and law enforcement during this era by introducing standardized methods for documenting physical characteristics of criminals through photography and measurements. This photograph serves as both an artistic piece and a scientific record of Soulage's features. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this exceptional albumen silver print that exemplifies the intersection between artistry and criminology in the late 19th century French society. It stands as a testament to the advancements made in identifying individuals based on their physical attributes. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of how history intertwines with politics, professions, and personal beliefs - all encapsulated within one man captured forever on film by Alphonse Bertillon himself.
