EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing figure of Lothier Gaston, a 27-year-old carpenter from St Thomas in Charente-Inferieure, France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed by Bertillon to document individuals for identification purposes. Gaston's mugshot-like portrait reflects his anarchist beliefs and political affiliation. The photograph becomes more than just a record of an arrest; it serves as a visual testament to the social climate of the time and Gaston's defiance against societal norms. Bertillonage, a pioneering method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to categorize criminals based on their physical features. This scientific approach merged photography with anthropology and played a significant role in early forensic investigations. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this piece that not only represents an individual but also encapsulates an entire era. Through this image, we catch glimpses into French history, crime detection methods, and even cultural heritage. As we gaze upon Lothier Gaston's face frozen in time, we are reminded of the power that photography holds - its ability to capture moments that transcend generations and provide insights into our past.
