EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Tennevin Alexandre, a 48-year-old Parisian accountant and self-proclaimed anarchist. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous artistry of the era. Tennevin's arresting mugshot reveals a man with a striking beard, symbolizing his rebellious spirit and defiance against societal norms. The photograph is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking anthropometric system, which aimed to identify individuals based on their physical characteristics. Intriguingly, this image not only serves as evidence of Tennevin's arrest but also provides valuable insights into the political climate of late 19th-century France. As an anarchist during a time marked by social unrest and political upheaval, Tennevin represents those who challenged established authority through radical ideologies. Through its historical significance and artistic composition, this portrait offers viewers a glimpse into both personal identity and broader socio-political movements. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it stands as a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in criminal identification and physical anthropology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded that photography transcends mere documentation; it becomes an instrument for understanding our past while igniting curiosity about our shared human experience.
