EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing mugshot of Godard. Armand, Alexandre, an 18-year-old electrician born on March 11,1875 in Paris XVIIe. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer of criminal identification techniques. In this black and white portrait, we see a young man with a defiant gaze and disheveled hair. His features are sharply defined against the stark background, emphasizing his rebellious spirit. This mugshot was captured on January 6,1894, during a time when France was grappling with social unrest and political turmoil. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous approach to anthropometry is evident in this image. By measuring various physical characteristics such as facial features and body proportions, he aimed to create a standardized system for identifying criminals. His work revolutionized forensic science and became widely adopted across the globe. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this photograph serves as both an artistic piece from the past and an important historical document. It offers us a glimpse into the life of Armand Alexandre Godard - one individual among countless others whose stories are preserved through photography. Through its monochromatic simplicity and powerful subject matter, this print invites viewers to reflect upon themes of identity, crime prevention methods employed in the late 19th century France while appreciating Alphonse Bertillon's significant contributions to both artistry and scientific advancements within photography
