Mermin. Camille. 33 ans, ne a La Havane (Cn Espagnoles). Rep. de cou. (?). Anarchiste
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of mystery and intrigue. The subject of the photograph is Mermin Camille, a 33-year-old man born in Havana, Cuba during Spanish colonial rule. Camille's enigmatic expression hints at his anarchist beliefs and rebellious spirit that defined him during this tumultuous era. Arrested on September 3rd, 1894 for unknown reasons, he became part of Bertillon's groundbreaking anthropometric system used for criminal identification. Bertillonage was an innovative concept developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself - a blend of science and artistry aimed at accurately cataloguing criminals based on their physical characteristics. This portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document. Displayed proudly within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image captures not only Camille's individuality but also reflects the political climate of France at that time – one marked by social unrest and revolutionary ideologies. As we gaze upon this arresting mugshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time to offer glimpses into lives lived long ago – lives that continue to shape our understanding of history today.
