Crespin. Joseph. 40 ans, ne a Roquesteron (Alpes-Maritimes) - A Glimpse into the Life of a Bank Clerk in 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of Joseph Crespin, a bank clerk from Roquesteron in the Alpes-Maritimes region of France. The image showcases an albumen silver print, capturing every intricate detail with remarkable clarity. The photograph is part of Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropology and anthropometry – scientific methods used for identification purposes during that era. Joseph Crespin stands before us as an embodiment of his time and profession. Dressed immaculately in formal attire, he exudes confidence and professionalism befitting his role as a banker. His expression reveals determination and ambition while providing insight into the challenges faced by individuals working in finance during this period. Bertillon's mugshot style composition adds an intriguing element to this portrait, hinting at potential connections to crime or law enforcement activities prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary individuals had their stories intertwined with broader societal narratives. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph not only captures Joseph Crespin's physical appearance but also offers valuable insights into French heritage art, occupation trends, and scientific advancements within photography during the late 19th century.
