EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon captures the essence of Sentenac. Phillipe, a 36-year-old carpenter from Soulan (Ariege), France. Taken in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases the intricate details of his face, revealing both his profession and political beliefs. Sentenac is not just an ordinary man; he proudly identifies himself as an anarchist. His mugshot-like portrait reflects the turbulent times of the late 19th century when political ideologies clashed fiercely. The photograph serves as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry and physical anthropology, which aimed to classify individuals based on their facial features for identification purposes. The image exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we ponder what crimes may have led to Sentenac's arrest. It invites us to delve into the complexities of French society during that era while shedding light on one man's defiance against established norms. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece symbolizes more than just a criminal record; it represents a snapshot of history frozen in time. Through photography, science merges with artistry, capturing not only physical appearances but also societal concepts and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon Sentenac's portrait today, we are reminded that even within seemingly ordinary faces lies extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered - tales that shape our understanding of politics, professions, and human nature itself.
