EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing figure of Theriez Louis (or Perriez), a 35-year-old cabinet maker and anarchist from Paris. Taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white mug shot offers a captivating glimpse into the world of crime and politics in turn-of-the-century France. Louis's stern expression reflects his defiance against societal norms, as he proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. The meticulousness of Bertillon's work is evident in this photograph, which was part of his groundbreaking system for criminal identification known as "bertillonage". By measuring various physical features such as height, head shape, and facial characteristics, Bertillon aimed to create a scientific method for identifying criminals. Beyond its historical significance in criminology and anthropology, this portrait also serves as a testament to the power of photography as an art form. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to Louis's face while emphasizing the intensity behind his eyes. This image invites viewers to contemplate not only the individual captured within it but also broader concepts such as identity, rebellion, and social justice. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage print stands as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary individuals can leave indelible marks on history through their actions and beliefs.
