Taken in the year 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases not only the artistry of early photography but also provides a glimpse into an intriguing moment in history. Labrie's arresting presence is intensified by his anarchist beliefs, boldly stated on the mugshot-like portrait. The image becomes more than just an identification record; it transforms into a powerful symbol of political defiance during that era. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry and physical anthropology is evident as he meticulously captures Labrie's features with precision and clarity. This photograph stands as both scientific documentation and artistic expression. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing its historical significance and cultural heritage.

Labrie's intense gaze invites us to ponder his story – how did he navigate through French society at that time? What struggles did he face as an anarchist wine merchant? This photograph sparks curiosity about Labrie's life while reminding us of the complex political landscape that shaped him.
