EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Anthropometric portrait of Emile Henry" offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable individual from the late 19th century. The portrait showcases Emile Henry, a French anarchist known for his involvement in radical political movements during the Third Republic. With his distinct moustache and piercing gaze, Henry's image exudes an air of defiance and determination. This police photo was taken as part of an attempt to document individuals involved in anarchism, providing insight into the turbulent times in which he lived. The technique used to capture this image is anthropometry, a scientific method that involves measuring various physical characteristics to create detailed profiles. Through this meticulous process, every feature - from facial structure to hairline - is meticulously recorded. As we delve into this intriguing photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only the face but also the spirit of Emile Henry. His presence resonates with rebellion against societal norms and fervent advocacy for anarchism. Now preserved within Musee de la Prefecture de Police in Paris, France, this powerful image serves as a testament to both historical documentation and artistic expression. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of human nature and our ever-evolving struggle for freedom and justice.
