EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "Monzon. Lucien, Henri, Baptiste. 18 ans, ne a Paris XXe. Couvreur. Anarchiste" captures the essence of an era marked by rebellion and political unrest in 19th century France. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases three young men who embody the spirit of anarchism. In this black and white portrait, we see Lucien, Henri, and Baptiste at the age of 18 proudly displaying their defiance against societal norms. Born in the working-class neighborhood of Paris XXe, they have chosen to pursue careers as roofers (couvreurs) while actively engaging in anarchist activities. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through his meticulous documentation of these individuals' physical characteristics for identification purposes. The image serves as a mugshot or arrest record that reflects both the scientific approach to criminal profiling prevalent during that time and the political climate surrounding anarchism. This piece not only provides insight into individual lives but also offers a glimpse into French history and culture during this tumultuous period. It stands as a testament to how photography can capture not just faces but also stories that transcend time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph represents heritage art that continues to inspire contemplation on social movements and political ideologies even today.
