EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Villanneau. Henri, Fernand" captures the essence of a man named Henri Fernand Villanneau. Born on March 11th, 1859 in Poitiers, France, he was a 35-year-old notary clerk at the time this photograph was taken in 1894. The image is part of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropological collection and showcases his pioneering work in criminal identification. Bertillonage, as it came to be known, revolutionized forensic science by introducing systematic measurements and photography for identifying criminals. Henri Fernand Villanneau's mugshot reveals more than just his physical appearance; it also hints at his political leanings. Labeled an anarchist, this portrait becomes a testament to the turbulent political climate of late-19th-century France. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today as part of their heritage art collection, this albumen silver print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the intersection between science and politics during that era. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this arresting composition – from the clarity captured by his camera lens to the precise anthropometric measurements recorded alongside Villanneau's image. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, we are reminded once again how art can transcend its medium and become a powerful tool for understanding history and human nature alike.
