EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the talented Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Mazoldi Frederic Jean-Baptiste, a 54-year-old ferblantier (tinsmith) and self-proclaimed anarchist. Born in Bicroz, Austria, Mazoldi's mugshot was taken on March 23rd, 1894. The image exudes an air of mystery as we delve into the world of crime and politics during this era. Bertillonage, a pioneering anthropometric identification system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, is evident in this photograph. With meticulous precision and scientific approach to his craft, Bertillon sought to document physical characteristics for criminal identification purposes. Mazoldi's portrait not only serves as evidence of his arrest but also provides valuable insights into the social fabric of France at that time. His occupation as a tinsmith reflects the skilled craftsmanship prevalent in society during this period. As we gaze upon Mazoldi's stern expression and rugged features, it becomes clear that he embodies rebellion against societal norms through his affiliation with anarchism. This photograph captures more than just an individual; it encapsulates political ideologies intertwined with personal identity. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection today, this heritage artwork allows us to explore the intersection between photography as both art form and scientific documentation. It invites contemplation on how visual representations can shape our understanding of history while highlighting individuals who challenged established systems.
