EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tropini. Esprit, Antoine. 35 ans, ne a San-Bueri (Italie). Tourneur. Anarchiste" captures the essence of a man named Antoine Esprit Tropini, born in San-Bueri, Italy, at the age of 35. The image was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894 and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Antoine appears to be a wood turner by profession, his hands showing signs of hard work and dedication to his craft. However, what truly sets him apart is his political affiliation as an anarchist - a concept that challenged societal norms during the late 19th century. Bertillon's photograph serves not only as an identification tool but also as a window into the complex world of criminal anthropology and anthropometry prevalent at that time. This mugshot-like portrait showcases how photography merged with science to study physical characteristics associated with criminal behavior. The arresting composition highlights Antoine's stoic expression while providing insight into French law enforcement practices during this period. It is evident that this image holds historical significance beyond its artistic value; it represents an era marked by social unrest and political turmoil. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of the power art possesses to document history and shed light on forgotten narratives.
