EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the intriguing persona of Alphonse Ochart, a 37-year-old shoemaker and self-proclaimed anarchist. Born on January 24,1856, in Asbruch (Nord), France, Ochart's mugshot reveals his defiant spirit and political beliefs. The photograph is part of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometric collection, which aimed to classify criminals based on physical characteristics. Ochart's black-and-white portrait showcases the meticulous documentation methods employed by Bertillonage – a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself. This scientific approach to identification revolutionized criminal investigation during that era. As a cobbler by trade, Ochart's occupation may seem mundane at first glance. However, his involvement in anarchist circles adds an element of intrigue to his story. Anarchism was gaining momentum as a political movement at the time and often challenged established laws and authority. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's archives, this photograph serves as both historical evidence and artistic expression. It offers us a glimpse into the life of an individual who defied societal norms while pursuing their craft. Alphonse Bertillon's work not only contributed to advancements in forensic science but also captured slices of human existence through photography. Through this image, we are reminded that even seemingly ordinary individuals can possess extraordinary stories worth exploring and preserving for future generations to appreciate.
