EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mocquet. Georges, Gustave" captures the essence of a young man named Georges Gustave Mocquet. Born on May 17th, 1876 in Paris IXe, he was just seventeen years old at the time this photograph was taken in 1894. Mocquet worked as a tapissier (upholsterer) by profession but had an intriguing additional identity - that of an anarchist. The image is part of Alphonse Bertillon's collection, known for his pioneering work in anthropometry and identification techniques during the late 19th century. Bertillon's expertise lies in criminal science and physical anthropology, making this portrait not only visually striking but also historically significant. Georges Gustave Mocquet's mugshot-like portrayal reflects the era's emphasis on capturing precise measurements to aid law enforcement agencies in identifying criminals accurately. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its heritage art collection. As we gaze upon this arresting image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between politics and personal identity during turbulent times. Mocquet stands as a symbol of rebellion against societal norms prevalent at that time. Alphonse Bertillon's photographic mastery allows us to delve into history through visual storytelling while shedding light on professions like upholstery that were integral to society back then. This thought-provoking snapshot invites us to reflect upon our own identities and how they intersect with our chosen
