EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of an era marked by political unrest and social change. The subject of this arresting portrait is Jacques Sigel, a 24-year-old jeweler from Kuttalsheim in Bas Rhin. With his piercing gaze and defiant expression, Sigel embodies the spirit of anarchism that was prevalent during this time. His occupation as a jeweler adds an intriguing layer to his story – a man who defies societal norms while working within a profession associated with luxury and status. Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques are evident in this mugshot-style photograph, showcasing his pioneering work in physical anthropology and identification methods. Through careful measurement and documentation, Bertillon sought to classify individuals based on their physical characteristics for law enforcement purposes. As we delve into this thought-provoking image, we are transported to a different world – one where political ideologies clashed against traditional structures of power. This photograph serves as both historical evidence of an individual's arrest but also as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought for their beliefs. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own notions of identity, politics, and personal freedom amidst changing times.
