EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures the intriguing figure of Boutel. Joseph. Louis, a 34-year-old corroyeur from Bonnay (Eure). Known for his anarchist beliefs, this enigmatic man's portrait is a testament to the rich tapestry of political and social movements that defined the era. The black and white albumen silver print showcases Alphonse Bertillon's mastery in capturing not only physical features but also the essence of an individual. Bertillonage, a pioneering method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed to identify criminals through anthropometric measurements. This photograph serves as both an artifact of early forensic science and a window into French society during that time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing the intersection between art and science. With its meticulous attention to detail and striking contrast between light and shadow, this mugshot-like image invites viewers to ponder upon questions surrounding identity, crime, politics, and human nature itself. As we gaze at Boutel's arresting expression frozen in time, we are reminded that history is not merely confined to textbooks but can be experienced through these visual remnants. It offers us a glimpse into an era when individuals like Boutel challenged societal norms with their radical ideologies. This print stands as a testament to our collective heritage – one that embraces diversity in thought while reminding us how far we have come on our journey towards understanding ourselves and each other better.
