EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Soubrie Francois, a 39-year-old coffee roaster from Livignac-le-Haut in Aveyron, France. The image, taken in the late 19th century, is an albumen silver print that beautifully captures the essence of this intriguing man. Francois's arresting gaze reveals his strong-willed nature and anarchist beliefs. With his unkempt hair and rugged appearance, he stands as a symbol of rebellion against societal norms. This mugshot-like portrait not only serves as an identification record but also offers a glimpse into the political climate of the time. Bertillonage, a scientific method developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for criminal identification purposes, was employed to capture every minute detail of Francois's physical features. This photograph becomes more than just an image; it transforms into valuable evidence within the realm of forensic anthropology. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to an era where politics clashed with law enforcement. Francois's occupation as a coffee roaster may seem inconspicuous at first glance; however, it is through images like these that we uncover hidden stories behind seemingly ordinary individuals. This thought-provoking portrait invites us to reflect on our own notions of identity and challenges us to question societal constructs. It reminds us that even in moments frozen in time like this one captured by Bertillon's lens, there lies untold complexity
