EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Dodot Emile (or Jules), a 55-year-old cobbler from Paris. The photograph, taken in 1894, offers a glimpse into the life of an anarchist with its black and white composition. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he captures Dodot's portrait for identification purposes. The meticulous attention to detail highlights the scientific approach employed during this era, where physical anthropology played a significant role in criminal investigations. Dodot's arrest and his association with anarchism are hinted at through this mugshot-like image. His rugged appearance reflects the hardships faced by individuals involved in political dissent during that time period. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes apparent that photography was not only used for artistic expression but also served as a tool for law enforcement and documentation of societal issues. This print serves as a testament to the intersection between art, science, and politics. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph allows us to connect with our heritage and gain insight into the lives of ordinary people who shaped history through their actions and beliefs. Through Bertillon's lens, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship behind his work and its significance within broader social contexts.
