EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hourt. Jean. 34 (ou 35) ans, ne a Reims (Marne). Menuisier. Anarchiste. 4 / 3 / 94" takes us back to the late 19th century in France. The image showcases Alphonse Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry, a scientific method of identifying individuals based on their physical measurements. In this arresting mug shot, we see Hourt Jean, a man believed to be around 34 or 35 years old at the time of capture. Born in Reims (Marne), he worked as a carpenter by profession but was also known for his anarchist beliefs and political activism. The photograph is part of an albumen silver print collection curated by Bertillon himself, who played a significant role in developing modern forensic science techniques during that era. His meticulous documentation aimed to aid law enforcement agencies in identifying criminals accurately. As we delve into this historical portrait, it serves as a reminder of the intersection between art and science within criminal justice systems worldwide. Beyond its artistic value preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this photograph offers glimpses into French society's political climate and the challenges faced by authorities during that period. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece from Heritage Images for its contribution to our understanding of both history and human identity through photography and anthropology.
