EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Feneon. Felix. Clerk of the Galerie Berheim Jeune. 1894-5" takes us back to the late 19th century in France, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a man named Feneon, who worked as a clerk at the renowned Galerie Berheim Jeune during that period. The photograph is an albumen silver print, expertly crafted by Alphonse Bertillon, a prominent figure in both photography and anthropology at the time. Bertillon's expertise in physical anthropology is evident through his use of anthropometry, which involved precise measurements of human features for identification purposes. In this portrait-like mugshot, Feneon stands against a plain backdrop with an air of mystery surrounding him. His expression is stoic yet intriguing, leaving us wondering about his story and role within society during that era. As we gaze upon this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported to a different time and place - immersed in French heritage art and fascinated by the intersection between science and law enforcement prevalent during that period. Through this remarkable photograph, Alphonse Bertillon captures not only Feneon's physical appearance but also offers us insight into the cultural landscape of 19th-century France – where crime detection techniques were evolving alongside advancements in photography and anthropology.
