EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Marty. Louis. 20 ans, ne a Lacanne (Tarn). Tailleur d habits. Anarchiste" showcases the remarkable work of Alphonse Bertillon, an influential figure in the field of anthropometry and criminal identification. The black and white portrait captures Marty Louis, a twenty-year-old tailor hailing from Lacanne in France. Louis's intense gaze reflects his anarchist beliefs, which were considered radical during that era. This photograph serves as both a documentation of his political affiliation and an artistic representation of the social climate at the time. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this mugshot-style image; every aspect is carefully composed to aid in accurate identification for law enforcement purposes. His groundbreaking scientific approach revolutionized criminal investigation techniques by introducing standardized measurements and classification systems. As we delve into this historical artifact, it not only provides insight into Marty Louis's occupation but also sheds light on broader themes such as politics, crime, and French society during the late 19th century. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece stands as a testament to Bertillon's significant contributions to both photography and forensic science. It reminds us that art can serve multiple purposes beyond aesthetics – it can capture history itself while immortalizing individuals like Marty Louis who played their part in shaping our world through their actions and beliefs.
