EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edouard Dejernier (or Degernier), a 45-year-old tailor from Gand, Belgium. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous artistry of anthropometry. Edouard's arresting gaze and distinguished facial hair reflect his anarchist beliefs, making him an intriguing subject for both criminal identification and historical documentation. The photograph stands as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology, using precise measurements to classify individuals based on their unique features. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection, preserving not only Edouard's image but also the political climate of 19th-century France. Through this portrait, we glimpse into a time when social unrest fueled radical ideologies like anarchism. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph is a testament to the power of photography as both an artistic medium and scientific tool. It invites us to contemplate how our professions shape our identities while reminding us that even seemingly ordinary individuals can leave indelible marks on history. As you admire this striking image captured over a century ago, take a moment to appreciate Edouard Dejernier (or Degernier) - tailor by trade but anarchist at heart - whose story continues to resonate through time thanks to Alphonse Bertillon's masterful lens.
