EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Brunet Felix, a 21-year-old Parisian painter who was born on February 21,1873. The photograph, taken by renowned French anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Felix sitting inside a carriage while proudly displaying his anarchist beliefs. Dated July 7,1894, this mugshot-like portrait provides a glimpse into the tumultuous political climate of the time. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this meticulously composed image. His innovative concept of using physical measurements for identification purposes revolutionized criminal investigation techniques during that era. This particular photograph serves as an important historical artifact showcasing both Bertillon's scientific approach and Felix's rebellious spirit. Felix's occupation as a car painter adds another layer to his intriguing persona. As he sits confidently within the carriage, one can't help but wonder about his role in society and how it may have influenced his political views. This portrait invites us to contemplate not only Felix himself but also the broader context of crime, law enforcement, and politics in France during the late 19th century. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this print stands as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in photography and anthropology. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history through the lens of art and science while pondering the complex interplay between individual identity and societal forces.
