EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing figure of Louis Dutheil, a 29-year-old tailor from Maisonnais, Haute-Vienne. The photograph was taken by renowned French anthropologist and criminologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Louis Dutheil's mugshot-like portrait reveals not only his physical appearance but also provides valuable insight into his political leanings as an anarchist. This image is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking work in the field of anthropometry, which aimed to classify individuals based on their physical characteristics for identification purposes. The black and white composition emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to Dutheil's enigmatic expression. His piercing gaze hints at a man who defies societal norms and challenges authority. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this photograph, showcasing his expertise in capturing both the individuality and essence of each subject he encountered. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when photography served as a powerful tool for scientific inquiry. Now housed within the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this print stands as a testament to both Louis Dutheil's unique story and Alphonse Bertillon's significant contributions to the fields of anthropology and criminal science during the late 19th century.
