EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Surgand. Alphonse, a 21-year-old shoe repairer from Lyon, who proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. The photograph, taken by renowned French anthropologist and criminologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, exudes an air of mystery and rebellion. In this black and white portrait, Surgand. Alphonse gazes directly into the camera with a defiant expression on his face. His disheveled appearance hints at a life lived on the fringes of society, while his intense eyes seem to hold secrets untold. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-style image. The meticulous measurements and precise documentation reflect the scientific approach he applied to criminal identification during that era. This photograph stands as both a testament to Bertillon's groundbreaking work in physical anthropology and a snapshot of France's political climate at the time. Surgand. Alphonse embodies not only an individual but also represents broader themes such as social unrest and political activism prevalent during the late 19th century. Through this arresting image, we catch a glimpse into the life of one man who dared to challenge societal norms. Now housed within the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage print serves as a reminder of our collective history—a visual artifact capturing not just one man's occupation or profession but also his defiance against established authority—an enduring symbol that continues to resonate today.
