EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Lenfant. emile, Jules. 26 ans, ne a Choisy-le-Roi (Seine). Modeleur" showcases the remarkable work of Alphonse Bertillon in the field of anthropometry and criminal identification. The black and white portrait captures Emile Lenfant, a 26-year-old French man born in Choisy-le-Roi. Emile's occupation as a modeleur is juxtaposed with his anarchist beliefs, adding an intriguing layer to this arresting image. Taken on February 3rd, 1894, this mugshot exemplifies Bertillon's pioneering techniques in forensic science. Bertillonage revolutionized law enforcement by introducing standardized measurements for identifying criminals based on physical features such as facial characteristics and body proportions. His meticulous approach aimed to create an objective system that could aid investigations across borders. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to the intersection of art and science during the late 19th century. It offers viewers insight into France's political landscape at that time while highlighting Bertillon's significant contributions to criminology. As we gaze upon Emile Lenfant's stern expression frozen in time, we are reminded of how photography can capture not only individual stories but also broader societal narratives. This thought-provoking image invites us to ponder questions about identity, crime prevention methods, and the role of politics within our justice systems - themes that remain
