EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Merigeau. Jacques. 35 ans, ne a St-Leger-les-Melles (Deux Sèvres). ébéniste. 19/12/93" by Alphonse Bertillon, takes us back to the late 19th century in France. The subject of this intriguing portrait is Jacques Merigeau, a 35-year-old cabinet maker from the small town of St-Leger-les-Melles. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry shines through as he captures every detail of Merigeau's face and features with precision and clarity. This mugshot-like image was likely taken for identification purposes within the context of law enforcement or criminal investigation. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when photography was emerging as a scientific tool for physical anthropology and crime detection. It serves as both an artistic expression and a historical document, showcasing the intersection between artistry and science during that time period. As we observe Merigeau's stern gaze and rugged appearance, we are left wondering about his story - what led him to be captured on film? What crimes or misfortunes did he encounter? Through this evocative image, Bertillon invites us to ponder upon these questions while appreciating the craftsmanship behind his photographic technique. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Bertillon's contribution to both heritage art preservation and advancements in forensic science during the late 19th
