EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Bedei Hercule, a 21-year-old Italian tailor born in Sorli. The year is 1894, and Bedei stands as an embodiment of rebellion and defiance against societal norms. Anarchist by belief, he challenges the established order with his political ideology. The photograph itself is a testament to the scientific advancements of its time. Taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer in forensic science, it showcases his expertise in anthropometry - the measurement of human physical characteristics for identification purposes. Bedei's mugshot-like portrait reflects both his occupation as a tailor and his involvement in criminal activities that led to his arrest. This image serves as evidence not only for law enforcement but also for future generations seeking insights into the lives of individuals who challenged authority during this tumultuous period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this albumen silver print carries historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It represents an era when photography merged with science to document people's identities while shedding light on their professions, beliefs, and political affiliations. As we gaze upon Bedei's defiant expression frozen in time, we are reminded of the power that images hold - capturing moments that transcend centuries and allowing us to delve into intriguing stories from our past.
