EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intriguing world of criminology in early 20th century France. The image showcases a camera and wax mannequins, which were integral to the innovative Bertillon method used by law enforcement agencies at the time. The camera, positioned prominently in the center of the frame, symbolizes both surveillance and documentation - two key aspects of criminal investigation. Its presence suggests that every detail matters when it comes to solving crimes. Surrounding the camera are several meticulously crafted wax mannequins. These life-like figures were created using anthropometry, a scientific technique developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself. Each mannequin represents an individual with distinct physical characteristics that could aid in identifying criminals or suspects. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we contemplate how these tools were employed to solve real-life crimes. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic effect. Photographer Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this historical moment from Musee de la Police in Paris, transporting us back in time to witness firsthand how artistry intersected with science within the realm of criminology. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for justice through innovation.
