Roobin. Joseph. 40 ans, ne a Bourgneuf (Loire-Inferieure). Terrassier. Anarchiste
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Roobin Joseph, a 40-year-old terrassier born in Bourgneuf, Loire-Inferieure. The image is part of an albumen silver print collection that showcases Bertillon's groundbreaking work in anthropometry. In this arresting portrait, we see Joseph standing against a plain backdrop with an air of defiance and determination on his face. His rugged appearance speaks volumes about his laborious occupation as a terrassier - someone who works on excavations and earthmoving projects. However, what truly sets this photograph apart is the mention of Joseph's political affiliation as an anarchist. This detail adds another layer to our understanding of him as an individual living in France during that time period when political unrest was prevalent. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous documentation not only captures physical attributes but also delves into the realm of identification and criminal science. Through his innovative techniques like bertillonage, he sought to create standardized methods for identifying individuals involved in crimes. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of how photography can serve as both art and historical record – preserving moments from the past while shedding light on social dynamics
