EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the enigmatic figure of Herman Caroline, a 33-year-old Parisian-born couturiere. The photograph, taken on March 21st, 1894, reveals her striking features and evokes a sense of mystery. With its black and white composition, the image exudes an air of timeless elegance. Bertillon's expertise in anthropology and anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-style portrait. His meticulous attention to detail highlights Caroline's physical attributes with scientific precision. This photograph serves as both an identification tool and a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in criminal investigation. Caroline's occupation as a seamstress reflects the rich heritage of French craftsmanship during that era. Her job not only defined her role within society but also provided valuable insights into the country's thriving fashion industry at the time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rare artifact offers viewers a glimpse into France's historical landscape while shedding light on Bertillonage - his innovative system for classifying criminals based on physical measurements. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, let us appreciate how photography can transcend time and capture the essence of individuals like Caroline – women who played significant roles in shaping their communities through their professions and contributions to society.
