EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Hubert Jules Bourguoin, a 51-year-old man born on August 17th, 1842 in Jelles, Seine & Marne. The image was taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894 during an era when anthropometry played a significant role in criminal identification. Bourguoin's piercing gaze and rugged features hint at a life filled with defiance and rebellion. As noted on the print, he proudly identifies as an anarchist from Macon, France. This mugshot-like portrait serves as both documentation of his arrest and a testament to his political beliefs. Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous approach to photography is evident in this albumen silver print. His innovative techniques revolutionized the field of physical anthropology and law enforcement identification methods during the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves this remarkable piece as part of its heritage art collection. Beyond its artistic value, this photograph offers insight into the social climate of that time period - one marked by political unrest and ideological clashes. As we observe Bourguoin's defiant expression frozen in time, we are reminded that even within seemingly ordinary individuals lies extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered.
