EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Spanagel. Alfred, Vincent. 17 ans, ne le 27 / 5 / 77 a Paris. Serrurier. Anarchiste" captures the intriguing portrait of a young man named Alfred Vincent Spanagel, taken in Paris in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon. The image is an albumen silver print, showcasing its historical significance and artistic value. Alfred Vincent Spanagel was just seventeen years old when this mugshot was taken, revealing his occupation as a locksmith and his political affiliation as an anarchist. This arresting photograph offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of late nineteenth-century France. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through the meticulous documentation of physical characteristics seen in this black-and-white image. His innovative method aimed to identify individuals based on precise measurements and facial features, contributing to advancements in forensic science. This portrait not only serves as evidence of criminal identification but also provides valuable insights into French history and culture during that era. It reminds us of the complex relationship between politics, crime, and individual identity. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece continues to fascinate viewers with its rich historical context and visual appeal. As we contemplate this photograph print by Alphonse Bertillon, we are reminded of the power that photography holds in capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
