EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the renowned Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Durey Francois Louis, a 43-year-old architect and anarchist from Lyon, France. The photograph was taken on July 2nd, 1894, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into the past. In this black and white mugshot-style portrait, Durey's stern expression reflects his rebellious nature as an active participant in political movements of the time. His arrest is evident through the somber atmosphere surrounding him. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is apparent in this image. As a pioneer in physical anthropology and identification techniques for law enforcement purposes, he utilized precise measurements to classify criminals accurately. This photograph serves as both an artistic representation and scientific documentation of Durey's features. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this heritage art piece that represents not only French history but also captures the essence of societal unrest during that era. It symbolizes how photography became intertwined with politics and crime investigation. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, we are transported back to a time when individuals like Durey challenged societal norms through their professions and political beliefs. Through Alphonse Bertillon's lens, we witness not only a man but also an embodiment of resistance against authority—a testament to the power of photography as both an art form and historical record.
