EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures Jules Dejoux, a 46-year-old man born on June 16,1848, in La Chatre (Indre), France. The photograph was taken by Alphonse Bertillon and is part of his anthropometric collection. In this black and white portrait, Dejoux appears against a plain background, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Bertillon's work. Bertillonage, a system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself, aimed at identifying criminals through precise measurements of various body parts. This mugshot serves as an important historical artifact that sheds light on the early days of forensic science and criminal identification techniques. Jules Dejoux's occupation is listed as "macon" which translates to mason or bricklayer in English. His stern expression suggests the seriousness with which he took his job or perhaps hints at the circumstances surrounding his arrest for "delit de presse" (press offense) on July 2nd, 1894. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph represents not only an individual but also a snapshot of French society during that era. It stands as a testament to both scientific advancements in physical anthropology and the enduring power of photography as a medium for documentation and investigation.
