EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Charlier. Ernile, Frederic. 40 ans, ne a Brest (Finistere)" captures the essence of a man named Frederic Charlier at the age of 40. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases his exceptional skills in portrait photography. Frederic Charlier is depicted as a distinguished individual with an intriguing story to tell. A native of Brest in Finistere, France, he was not only an artist but also a painter by profession. The photograph exudes an air of mystery and intrigue surrounding Charlier's occupation. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident through this mug shot-style image that served as an identification tool for law enforcement purposes during that era. This particular photograph highlights the scientific approach employed by Bertillonage to document physical characteristics for criminal investigation. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this nineteenth-century artifact offers us glimpses into French heritage and its rich cultural history. It serves as a reminder of how photography has played a crucial role in documenting people's lives throughout time. As we observe Charlier's intense gaze and contemplate his life story captured within this single frame, we are transported back to another era where artistry met science - all encapsulated within this mesmerizing photographic masterpiece by Alphonse Bertillon.
