EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Rodskidski. Eloi, Jean-Baptiste" captures the essence of a man named Jean-Baptiste Eloi, who was born in Paris on December 13th, 1856. At the age of 37, he is depicted as a mechanic with an intriguing twist - an anarchist. This arresting image was taken on July 2nd, 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon. The photograph itself is a remarkable example of nineteenth-century albumen silver print photography. Its black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal and allows us to delve into the past. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this piece within their collection. Jean-Baptiste's portrait serves multiple purposes beyond mere aesthetics; it falls under the realm of physical anthropology and identification methods used in law enforcement during that era. Alphonse Bertillon pioneered anthropometry as a scientific approach to criminal investigation, making this particular mug shot significant not only for historical documentation but also for its contribution to forensic science. As we gaze upon this enigmatic figure from France's heritage art scene, we are reminded of the political climate at that time and how individuals like Jean-Baptiste embraced anarchism as their chosen ideology. His occupation as a mechanic further highlights his role within society while challenging conventional norms. Alphonse Bertillon's work continues to captivate audiences today through his innovative techniques merging artistry with scientific precision. This photograph stands testament to his legacy and offers us an intimate glimpse
