EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing faces of Raboin. Paul, Pierre, Augustin - three men aged 32, born in Ouzoir-sur-Loire (Loiret). They were day laborers and self-proclaimed anarchists. The photograph was taken on April 23rd, 1892 by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer of criminal identification techniques. In this black and white mugshot, each man's distinct features are meticulously documented through Bertillonage - a system developed by Bertillon to classify criminals based on their physical measurements. This scientific approach aimed to revolutionize law enforcement at the time. The intensity in their eyes speaks volumes about their rebellious spirit and political beliefs. As anarchists during a politically charged era in France's history, they challenged societal norms and advocated for radical change. This portrait not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights the intersection between photography, anthropology, and politics. It is a testament to how art can capture both individual identity and broader social movements. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image stands as a reminder of the power that photographs hold in preserving our heritage. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of crime prevention methods used during that period while offering glimpses into the lives of these defiant men who dared to challenge authority.
