EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Louis Delesderrier, a 34-year-old man born on March 2nd, 1860 in Paris Ille. A skilled ciseleur (chaser), he was also known for his strong anarchist beliefs. The image captures Delesderrier's mugshot, taken on March 16th, 1894 as part of Bertillon's pioneering anthropometric system used for criminal identification. In this portrait-style photograph, we see a serious-looking man with an intense gaze and prominent features that reflect both his physical appearance and inner convictions. Bertillonage revolutionized the field of forensic science during that era by introducing standardized measurements and photography techniques to aid in criminal investigations. This particular image serves as evidence of how political ideologies intertwined with crime at the time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today as part of their heritage collection, this photograph not only showcases Bertillon's scientific approach but also sheds light on the social and political climate in France during the late nineteenth century. Through this powerful visual document, we are reminded of how art can transcend its medium to become an invaluable historical artifact—a testament to both individual stories like Delesderrier's and broader societal narratives
