EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Guerlinger. Pierre. 28 ans, ne le 31/5/65 a St-Avold (Moselle). Journalier" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of Alphonse Bertillon's anthropometry. The image showcases Pierre Guerlinger, a French day laborer and self-proclaimed anarchist. In this arresting portrait, we see Guerlinger staring directly at the camera with an intense gaze that reflects his rebellious spirit. His rugged appearance tells tales of hard work and resilience in an era marked by political unrest. Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his pioneering work in criminal identification, captures not only Guerlinger's physical features but also his political beliefs through this mugshot-like photograph. By combining science with artistry, Bertillon sought to create a comprehensive system for identifying criminals based on their unique measurements. As we delve deeper into this thought-provoking image, it serves as a reminder of the intersection between politics and anthropology during that time period. It invites us to contemplate how societal concepts influenced individuals like Guerlinger and shaped their actions within their country. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage collection, this albumen silver print stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Through its timeless appeal, it continues to evoke curiosity about our shared past while challenging us to reflect on the complex relationship between crime, identity
