EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Martin Pierre, a young man with an intriguing story to tell. At just 22 years old, Martin was born in the charming town of St-Léger in Saône-et-Loire, France. As an employee in the commerce sector, his aspirations seemed ordinary at first glance. However, what sets him apart is his strong affiliation with anarchism - a political ideology that challenges traditional power structures. Captured on February 27th, 1894 - forever etched onto this albumen silver print - we witness Martin's arrest through Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques.

Alphonse Bertillon's work transcends mere photography; it
