EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lustenberger, Louis Joseph, a 38-year-old ciseleur and anarchist in Paris during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the unique blend of artistry and science that characterized Bertillon's work. Intriguingly, Lustenberger's arresting mugshot reveals his distinctive facial hair - a well-groomed mustache that adds to his enigmatic presence. His piercing gaze hints at a man deeply committed to his political beliefs and unafraid to challenge societal norms. Bertillonage, an innovative system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for criminal identification purposes, is evident in this photograph. Through meticulous anthropometry techniques, such as measuring specific physical features like head size or ear shape, Bertillon sought to create a foolproof method for identifying criminals. Beyond its historical significance within the realm of law enforcement and anthropology, this image also serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage. Lustenberger stands as an emblematic figure representing both the political climate of his time and the diverse range of individuals who contributed to French society. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this thought-provoking portrait invites viewers to delve into questions surrounding identity politics while appreciating the artistic mastery behind early photography.
