EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print by Alphonse Bertillon titled "Pelgrom. Elise (femme Schouppe). Deux photographies, dont une legendee: Reprod" offers a glimpse into the world of anthropology and criminal identification during that era. The albumen silver print showcases two photographs, one of which is labeled "Reprod. faite 22/2/93" indicating its reproduction date in 1893. Bertillon, a renowned French anthropologist and pioneer in forensic science, utilized this medium to document individuals for identification purposes. This particular image features Elise Pelgrom, also known as femme Schouppe, a female resident of France at the time. The black and white composition highlights the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Bertillonage - his innovative system for measuring physical attributes to classify criminals accurately. Through his work, he aimed to provide law enforcement with an effective tool for crime prevention and investigation. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only serves as an important historical artifact but also reflects the intersection between art and science during the late 19th century. It invites viewers to contemplate how photography played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of human identity and societal structures. As we admire this remarkable portrait captured over a century ago, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to advancing our knowledge in fields such as anthropology and criminal justice.
