EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Della Casa, a 36-year-old cobbler from Avoglion, Italy. The photograph, taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, reveals not only Della Casa's physical appearance but also his intriguing political affiliation as an anarchist. In this black and white portrait, Della Casa stands against a plain backdrop, his gaze direct and defiant. His occupation as a shoemaker is evident from the tools he holds in his hands—a testament to both his craftsmanship and resilience. However, it is his identification as an anarchist that adds depth to this image. Bertillon's use of anthropometry—the scientific measurement of human features—highlights the intersection between photography and physical anthropology. This innovative approach aimed at identifying criminals through precise measurements became known as "bertillonage" named after its creator. Della Casa's arrest record suggests involvement in activities deemed subversive by authorities at the time. As such, this mugshot serves not only as documentation for law enforcement but also provides insight into the socio-political climate of late 19th-century France. Displayed within the esteemed halls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this photograph represents more than just one man; it symbolizes an era marked by social unrest and ideological clashes. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be discovered—a testament to the power of photography in capturing history beyond mere visual representation.
