EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Fetis Julien, a 26-year-old roofer from New York City. Born on March 3rd, 1894, Julien's arresting presence is intensified by his anarchist beliefs, evident in his fierce gaze and rebellious spirit. Taken in the late 19th century by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous artistry of anthropometry. Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology aimed to identify individuals through precise measurements and facial features. In this mugshot-style portrait, Julien's distinct moustache adds an air of defiance to his otherwise stoic expression. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this significant piece as part of its heritage collection. Beyond its artistic value, the photograph serves as a historical document shedding light on political ideologies prevalent during that era. As we delve into this thought-provoking image, it prompts us to reflect upon questions surrounding identity, occupation, and personal convictions. It reminds us that even within the confines of a mugshot frame lies a complex individual with dreams and aspirations shaped by their time and circumstances. Alphonse Bertillon's mastery behind the lens immortalizes Fetis Julien as more than just another criminal record but rather as an emblematic representation of an era marked by social unrest and political fervor.
