EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the life of Bassille Maurice Eugene. At just 19 years old, born in Paris Ille, he was already making his mark as a portefeuilliste - a skilled pickpocket. However, it is not only his criminal activities that define him; Bassille also identifies himself as an anarchist. The photograph itself is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking work in anthropometry and physical anthropology. As an early pioneer in forensic science, Bertillon sought to establish a scientific method for identifying criminals based on their physical characteristics. This mugshot serves as both documentation of Bassille's arrest and an important piece of historical evidence. In this portrait, we see a young man with piercing eyes and an air of defiance. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the seriousness of the subject matter. It is through photographs like these that Bertillon aimed to bring objectivity and precision to law enforcement practices. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands as a testament to both the artistic skill of its creator and the significance it holds within the realms of politics, crime detection, and cultural heritage.
