EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, captured by the talented Alphonse Bertillon, showcases a compelling portrait of Robillard. Guillaume, Joseph - a copper founder and an ardent anarchist at the age of 24. Born on November 17th, 1868 in Vaucresson, France, Robillard's mugshot captures his striking features with remarkable clarity. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he meticulously documents Robillard's physical attributes for identification purposes. The black and white composition adds to the gravity of this historical moment, emphasizing the seriousness of criminal profiling during that era. Robillard stands proudly against a plain backdrop; his occupation as a metalworker subtly hinted through his attire. This photograph not only serves as evidence of an arrest but also offers insight into the political climate and social tensions prevalent in late 19th-century France. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this significant piece within its collection, highlighting its value as both art and scientific documentation. Beyond being visually impaired or having any disabilities mentioned in this print description, Robillard exudes determination and resilience through his intense gaze. Alphonse Bertillon's work revolutionized forensic science and law enforcement practices during this period. His meticulous approach to capturing details enabled accurate identification while contributing to advancements in physical anthropology. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect upon societal norms and political ideologies that shaped individuals like Robillard during one of history's most transformative eras.
