EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing mugshot of Charles Albert Lefrancois, a 27-year-old watchmaker and self-proclaimed anarchist from Paris. Taken on July 2nd, 1894, by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white portrait showcases the intersection between photography and science during that era. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this meticulously detailed image. The photograph was part of his groundbreaking work in criminal identification, where he developed a system to measure various physical characteristics for accurate record-keeping. Lefrancois' arrest likely stemmed from his involvement in political activities related to anarchism—a movement known for its opposition to authority and government control. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this significant piece of heritage art, which offers a glimpse into France's history at the turn of the century. Lefrancois' stern expression reflects both defiance and resilience as he faces the camera with determination. Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness an individual who challenged societal norms while pursuing his craft as a watchmaker. This print serves as a reminder of how art can intersect with politics and anthropology—an enduring testament to Bertillon's pioneering contributions to forensic science.
