EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Nic. Celestin. 20 ans, ne a Conflans-St-Honorine (Seine & Oise). Emballeur" takes us back to the 19th century in France. Captured by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the fascinating world of anthropology and criminal identification. In this portrait, we see Nic. Celestin, a young man of twenty years old from Conflans-St-Honorine. His occupation as an emballeur or packer is revealed through his attire and demeanor. The meticulous attention to detail in this mug shot reflects Bertillon's scientific approach to photography. Bertillonage was a groundbreaking system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for identifying criminals based on their physical measurements and characteristics. This photograph serves as evidence of his pioneering work in the field of physical anthropology. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image not only captures an individual but also represents an era when science played a crucial role in law enforcement practices. It offers us a glimpse into French history while showcasing the artistic beauty that can be found even within such utilitarian photographs. As we admire this heritage art piece, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both historical significance and artistic excellence – reminding us that every photograph has its own story to tell about people, professions, and the ever-evolving nature of science itself.
