EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Michel Veysseire, a 25-year-old journalist and anarchist born in Montreuil. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the artistry of the 19th century. Veysseire's piercing gaze and confident stance reflect his strong political beliefs as an anarchist. The image serves as both a portrait and an identification tool, highlighting the intersection between journalism, anthropology, and criminal justice during that era. Bertillonage, a scientific system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to standardize anthropometric measurements for identifying criminals. This photograph is part of his extensive collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The photo evokes a sense of rebellion against societal norms prevalent in France at that time. Veysseire's arrest adds another layer to his story; it symbolizes his unwavering dedication to challenging authority through political activism. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are reminded of the power photography holds in capturing not only physical appearances but also deeper aspects such as identity and ideology. It stands as a testament to how visual arts intertwine with politics and science while preserving our cultural heritage.
