EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon titled "Alicante. Philibert. 33 ans, ne a Seire (Seine & Oise). Coupeur de talons" transports us back in time to an era of mystery and intrigue. The photograph features a striking black and white portrait of Philibert, a man with an unmistakable air of rebellion. Philibert's anarchistic beliefs are evident in his defiant gaze and the subtle hint of a mischievous smile playing on his lips. His neatly trimmed mustache adds to his enigmatic charm, while the arresting intensity in his eyes speaks volumes about his determination to challenge societal norms. Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for pioneering anthropometry as a method for criminal identification, captures not only Philibert's physical appearance but also hints at the political climate that shaped him. This mugshot-like image serves as both an artistic expression and scientific documentation—a testament to Bertillon's expertise in merging artistry with forensic science. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece, we are transported to late 19th-century France—a country grappling with social unrest and political upheaval. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of one man's defiance against authority—an embodiment of the spirit that defined an entire generation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable print stands as a reminder that photography is not merely about capturing moments; it can also serve as a powerful tool for documenting history
