EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in the 19th century, showcases Antoine Vignaud at 32 years old. Born in Cussey (Allier), he was a skilled cobbler by profession but gained notoriety for his involvement in anarchist activities. The image serves as an intriguing mug shot, taken on March 21st, 1894. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through this arresting portrait. His meticulous approach to recording physical measurements aimed to aid identification and law enforcement efforts during that era. This photograph stands as a testament to both the scientific advancements of physical anthropology and its intersection with criminal justice. Vignaud's defiant expression hints at his political beliefs and challenges societal norms prevalent during that time. As an anarchist, he rebelled against established systems and ideologies, advocating for radical change within French society. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage artwork offers us a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time—where we witness not only Vignaud's individual story but also gain insight into broader political movements shaping France at the turn of the century. Alphonse Bertillon's masterful composition captures more than just a man; it encapsulates an entire concept—the clash between order and rebellion—and invites viewers to ponder upon themes of identity, crime, politics, occupation, and human resilience that transcend generations.
