EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century in France, offering a glimpse into the life of Veret Octave-Jean, a young man with an intriguing story to tell. At just 19 years old, born and raised in the vibrant streets of Paris' 20th arrondissement, Octave-Jean defied societal norms as both a photographer and an anarchist. This arresting portrait captures his rebellious spirit and determination to challenge authority. The photograph is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking work in anthropometry - the scientific study of human measurements for identification purposes. It serves as more than just a mugshot; it reflects the intersection between art and science during this era. Octave-Jean's intense gaze reveals his unwavering commitment to his political beliefs while also showcasing his individuality within society's constraints. His arrest may have been prompted by his involvement in political activities or acts deemed criminal at that time. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage artwork stands as a testament to French history and its complex relationship with politics during the late 19th century. Bertillon's mastery behind the lens immortalizes Octave-Jean's defiance against societal norms while shedding light on an important period where photography merged with physical anthropology for law enforcement purposes.
