Mathieu. Gustave. (avec une barbe postiche), 1880s-90s - A Captivating Glimpse into Anthropometric Science
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing photograph, captured by Alphonse Bertillon in the late 19th century, showcases two enigmatic figures named Mathieu and Gustave. With their striking beards, it is hard to discern whether these men are truly who they claim to be or if they are hiding behind a clever disguise. Bertillon's work was deeply rooted in the field of physical anthropology and identification techniques. His innovative method of anthropometry aimed to measure various aspects of the human body for scientific purposes, including criminal investigation and personal identification. In this portrait, we witness the fusion of artistry and science as Bertillon expertly captures Mathieu and Gustave's features with his albumen silver print technique. The meticulous attention to detail reveals not only their facial hair but also hints at their country of origin - France.

This image serves as a testament to both Bertillon's legacy as a pioneer in his field and the enduring power that portraiture holds in preserving our heritage.
