EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the enigmatic figure of Bazin Claudius, also known as Cesar. At 36 years old, he was born in Chatillon (Ain) and worked as a skilled mechanic. However, his occupation is just one aspect that defines him; Bazin Claudius proudly identified himself as an anarchist. The photograph captures his arresting presence with striking clarity. In black and white, it exudes a timeless quality that transports us back to an era when photography was still in its infancy. His facial hair, particularly the meticulously groomed mustache, adds to his distinctive appearance. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry shines through this portrait. As a pioneer in the field of physical anthropology and identification techniques, he sought to capture not only the subject's likeness but also their essence. This mugshot-like image serves both scientific and legal purposes - documenting a criminal for identification while simultaneously preserving a piece of history. Beyond its forensic significance lies the political undertone embedded within this photograph. Bazin Claudius' anarchism challenges societal norms and invites contemplation on personal freedoms versus state control. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork provides us with a glimpse into French history during the late 19th century - an era marked by social upheaval and ideological debates. Through Bertillon's lens, we are transported to another time where science meets artistry and politics intersect with individuality.
