EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the intriguing figure of Pennelier Casimir Arthur, a 36-year-old clerk from Billeuse, Somme. Taken in 1894, this albumen silver print is not just an ordinary portrait but rather a powerful depiction of an anarchist. With his striking beard and intense gaze, Pennelier exudes defiance and rebellion. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident as he captures every detail of Pennelier's facial features for identification purposes. This image serves as a mugshot, documenting the arrest of this enigmatic man who dared to challenge societal norms. The photograph transports us back to 19th-century France, where political tensions were high and anarchism was gaining momentum. It offers a glimpse into the life of one individual who embraced this radical ideology. Beyond its historical significance, this print also highlights the artistic prowess of Bertillon. The composition is masterfully executed with impeccable contrast between light and shadow. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this piece that seamlessly merges science with artistry. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that photography has always been more than mere documentation; it has the power to capture moments that shape our understanding of history and society itself.
