EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print, titled "Schaffer. Charles. 28 ans, ne a Paris Xle. ebeniste" captures the essence of a man named Charles Schaffer at the age of 28. Born in the vibrant city of Paris, he was an accomplished cabinet maker by profession. The photograph is part of Alphonse Bertillon's remarkable anthropological collection and serves as an identification record for criminal investigation purposes. Taken on February 3rd, 1894, it showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Bertillon employed in his pioneering work on anthropometry. In this black and white portrait, Schaffer's features are strikingly defined against a plain background. His stern expression hints at the seriousness of his alleged involvement with an association of wrongdoers – a crime that led him to be captured within the frame. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this image not only represents one man's story but also reflects the scientific advancements made during that era in physical anthropology and photography. As we gaze upon this historic artifact from France's past, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide us with valuable insights into our heritage and society's evolution over centuries.
