EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Louis Auguste Grandidier, a 20-year-old day laborer from St-Denis (Seine), France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print is an intriguing blend of artistry and scientific documentation. Grandidier's arresting gaze speaks volumes about his anarchist beliefs, as indicated by the inscription on the photograph. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment that encapsulates not only an individual but also an entire era marked by political unrest and social upheaval. Bertillonage, a pioneering method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, was employed to create this portrait with meticulous precision. This technique combined elements of anthropology and physical measurement to aid in criminal identification—a testament to the intersection between science and law enforcement during the late 19th century. As we delve into this image's historical significance, it becomes clear that it represents more than just one man's face; it embodies a larger narrative of rebellion against societal norms. Grandidier stands as a symbol for those who challenged authority and sought change within their country. Preserved within the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable artifact documenting our shared human history. It invites us to reflect upon the complexities of identity politics while appreciating Bertillon's mastery behind the lens.
