EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Robert Fritz Malatesta, a 24-year-old Swiss man. The image captures the essence of an era marked by societal unrest and growing animosity among citizens. In this thought-provoking portrait, Malatesta's expression reveals his excitement towards inciting hatred between individuals. Taken in the 1880s-90s, this albumen silver print is a testament to Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropology and anthropometry. His innovative techniques revolutionized identification methods used in law enforcement at the time. This photograph not only serves as a historical artifact but also sheds light on the criminal landscape of France during that period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing its significance as both art and science. As one delves into this mugshot-style portrait, it becomes evident how physical appearance was intricately linked to criminal profiling back then. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is apparent through his use of b&w photography, capturing every nuance of Malatesta's features with precision. This particular image stands as a reminder of our collective heritage while offering insights into the complexities surrounding crime and identity in late 19th-century Europe.
