EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Garnier Auguste, a 34-year-old day laborer born in Perigny, Cote-d Or. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer in criminal identification techniques. Garnier's mugshot exudes an air of defiance and rebellion as he proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. His piercing gaze speaks volumes about his political beliefs and his willingness to challenge societal norms during this tumultuous period. Bertillonage, the system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for identifying criminals through physical measurements, is evident in this meticulously composed black-and-white image. The meticulous attention to detail showcases the scientific approach that Bertillon brought to photography and anthropology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art now houses this piece of heritage art which not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the intersection between politics, science, and portraiture during that era. As we delve into this arresting photograph, we are reminded of the power that images hold in capturing moments frozen in time. Garnier's mugshot becomes more than just a documentation of his arrest; it becomes a symbol of resistance against social injustice—a testament to one man's unwavering belief in anarchism amidst a changing world.
