EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Ricois Charles-Victor, a 48-year-old man born on March 21,1846, in Orleans. Employed at the Journal Officiel, Ricois is not your ordinary citizen; he proudly identifies as an anarchist. The image was taken on July 2,1894, by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer of criminal identification. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry allowed him to create this arresting mugshot that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Ricois. His striking beard adds an air of mystery to his already intriguing persona. As we delve into the photograph's details, we are transported back to France during the late 19th century – a time when political unrest and social change were prevalent. Through this portrait, we witness how science intersects with art as Bertillon employs photography to capture not only physical features but also political ideologies. This image serves as both evidence for law enforcement purposes and a testament to our shared heritage. Now housed within the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this albumen silver print stands as a reminder of our complex history and offers insight into the intersection between politics and identity during that era. It invites us to ponder upon questions surrounding crime prevention methods employed at that time while appreciating the artistic value embedded within historical documentation.
