EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Borderie. Ferdinand, Jacques, a 19-year-old metalworker born in Sarlat (Dordogne), France. Taken by the renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon in 1894, this albumen silver print showcases his exceptional skills as both an artist and a scientist. In this mugshot-like portrait, Borderie gazes directly into the camera with an air of confidence and determination. His strong features are accentuated by the monochromatic palette, highlighting his role as a painter on metals. The absence of any specific motif adds to the intrigue surrounding his profession. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through his meticulous documentation of physical characteristics that were used for identification purposes at that time. This photograph stands as a testament to Bertillonage - a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for criminal identification. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to 19th-century France where crime and law enforcement played significant roles in society. Through this image, we catch a glimpse of Borderie's life and occupation within the bustling metropolis. Now preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph not only serves as an important historical artifact but also represents Bertillon's contribution to both artistry and scientific advancements during that era.
