EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing portrait of Jean Ernest Pausader, a 27-year-old publicist and anarchist from Paris. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this black and white mugshot showcases the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed during that era. Bertillon's pioneering work in physical anthropology and identification revolutionized criminal investigation methods. His concept of "bertillonage" involved measuring various body parts to create a unique profile for each individual, aiding in their identification if involved in any criminal activities. In this arresting image, Pausader's stern expression reveals his defiance against societal norms. As an anarchist, he was part of a political movement advocating for the abolition of all forms of government authority. This photograph not only serves as evidence of his arrest but also symbolizes his unwavering commitment to challenging established power structures. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece offers us a glimpse into the turbulent times of late 19th-century France. It reminds us how photography played a crucial role in both documenting history and advancing scientific disciplines like anthropology. Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the convergence between artistry and science within one frame – capturing not just an individual's face but also their profession, political beliefs, and place within society.
