EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Villa. Jean. 29 ans, ne a Farini d Olma (Italie). Manoeuvre. Anarchiste. 2 / 3 / 94" takes us back to the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometry. The image showcases Villa Jean, a man of Italian origin who was just twenty-nine years old at the time this photograph was taken in 1894. A laborer by profession, he also identified himself as an anarchist - a political ideology that challenged societal norms during that era. Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his pioneering work in criminal identification and physical anthropology, captured this arresting mugshot as part of his groundbreaking research on identifying individuals based on their unique body measurements. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported to France where Villa Jean found himself entangled with the law enforcement authorities due to his alleged involvement in criminal activities or association with like-minded anarchists. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art under its heritage art collection, this albumen silver print serves as both documentation and testament to the intersection between science and politics during a transformative period in history. Through Bertillon's lens, we witness not only an individual but also a snapshot of an entire movement challenging authority and advocating for radical change within society. This thought-provoking portrait invites us to reflect upon our own notions of identity, crime, and social order while
