EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Gabriel De la Salle, a renowned publicist hailing from Nantes, France. At 45 years old, his striking presence is emphasized by his well-groomed beard and distinguished facial features. The photograph was taken in 1894 under the direction of Alphonse Bertillon, an influential figure in the field of anthropology and anthropometry. Bertillon's meticulous approach to identification and criminal investigation is evident in this black and white portrait. Through his pioneering techniques, he sought to establish a scientific basis for understanding human physical characteristics as they relate to crime prevention and law enforcement. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable image showcases not only the artistry behind early photography but also serves as a testament to the intersection between science and visual representation during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into Gabriel De la Salle's occupation as a publicist while simultaneously shedding light on Bertillon's groundbreaking contributions to physical anthropology. As we contemplate this thought-provoking piece from our heritage collection, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both historical significance and artistic excellence. This print invites us to reflect upon the evolving nature of professions, scientific advancements in identification methods, and their lasting impact on society.
