EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Toulet Guy, a remarkable individual with a fascinating story. Flavien, aged 41 and born in Boufler (Somme), was not only an entrepreneur of painting but also an ardent anarchist. The photograph, taken on March 23rd, 1894, captures his intense gaze and distinguished beard. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-style portrait. As a pioneer in the field of physical anthropology and identification techniques, Bertillon aimed to use photography as a tool for criminal investigation and law enforcement. Toulet Guy's arrest may have been related to his political beliefs or involvement in anarchist activities during that turbulent era. This image serves as both documentation of his encounter with the law and a testament to the power of photography as evidence. The black-and-white composition adds depth to the historical context surrounding this arresting image. It transports us back to late-19th century France when political unrest prevailed and societal norms were being challenged. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's contribution to science through visual documentation. Beyond its artistic value lies its significance within the realm of heritage art—a reminder of individuals who defied conventions while leaving their mark on history.
