EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Thiebaut Eugene, a 35 or 36-year-old roofer from Chateau-Salin in Menthe & Moselle, France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the artistry and scientific precision of anthropometry. Eugene's arresting gaze draws you into his world as an anarchist, challenging societal norms with his political beliefs. His well-groomed mustache and facial hair add to his intriguing persona, reflecting both the fashion of the time and perhaps a rebellious spirit. Bertillon's expertise in identification is evident through this mugshot-style portrait. The meticulous attention to detail highlights the intersection between photography and science during this period. This image serves as a testament to Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon for criminal identification based on physical measurements. As we delve into Eugene's story through this photograph, we are transported back to late 19th-century France – a time when politics were fervent and social change was brewing. This image not only preserves Eugene's occupation as a couvreur (roofer) but also offers us insight into the complexities of identity within historical context. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within the realms of anthropology, history, and criminology. It stands as a powerful reminder that even behind
