EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Auvin Henri, a 37-year-old boilermaker from St-Meme in Charente-Inferieure, France. The image is part of an albumen silver print collection that showcases Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry and criminal identification. In this mugshot-style portrait, Auvin Henri stands with stoic determination as his features are meticulously captured through scientific precision. The photograph not only serves as evidence of his arrest but also provides valuable insights into the physical characteristics associated with anarchism during that time. Bertillon's innovative concept of measuring body proportions for identification purposes revolutionized forensic science and law enforcement practices. Through his meticulous documentation, he aimed to establish a systematic approach to categorizing criminals based on their physical traits. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the intersection between art and science in unraveling human identity. This photograph encapsulates both the political climate and social context prevalent in late 19th-century France while immortalizing Auvin Henri's occupation as a skilled boilermaker amidst his anarchist beliefs. Join us on this visual journey through time as we explore the rich heritage embedded within Alphonse Bert
