EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Pierre Leopold Lutringer, a 43-year-old cobbler and anarchist from Stenay, Meuse. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this black and white mugshot showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed during that era. Lutringer's stern expression reflects his defiance against societal norms and political ideologies of the time. As an anarchist, he challenged authority and advocated for radical change. The photograph not only serves as an identification record but also offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between crime, politics, and personal identity. Bertillonage, a pioneering system developed by Bertillon himself, aimed to standardize criminal identification through precise measurements of various body parts. This scientific approach to photography revolutionized forensic science and played a crucial role in law enforcement practices at the turn of the century. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this image stands as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical significance. It invites viewers to contemplate the intersection between individuality and social constructs while appreciating the technical mastery behind early photographic methods. As we gaze upon Lutringer's face frozen in time, we are reminded that even within seemingly ordinary professions like shoemaking lies untapped potential for rebellion against established systems—a reminder that echoes throughout history till today.
