EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Miaglia Bernard, a 41-year-old cobbler from Giaglione, Italy. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases not only the physical features of its subject but also his intriguing background as an anarchist. Miaglia's stern gaze and rugged appearance hint at a life filled with defiance against societal norms. As an anarchist, he stands firmly against any form of authority or government control. This photograph serves as both an identification record and a testament to his political beliefs. Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this meticulously composed portrait. The precise measurements taken during the process highlight the scientific approach applied to criminal identification at that time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, preserving not just Miaglia's image but also capturing a moment in history when political ideologies clashed with established systems. It serves as a reminder that even ordinary individuals like Miaglia can become symbols of resistance and rebellion. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, we are transported back to 19th-century France where crime was rampant and social unrest prevailed. Through photography, art intertwines with science to create lasting impressions that transcend time and place – forever immortalizing figures like Miaglia Bernard who dared to challenge the status quo.
