EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Becu Lucien, a 27-year-old café waiter from the small town of Conte d'Abigny in Pas-de-Calais, France. Taken on February 22nd, 1894, this image is part of Bertillon's groundbreaking work in anthropometry and criminal identification. Bertillonage, as it was known at the time, revolutionized law enforcement practices by using precise measurements of various body parts to create a unique profile for each individual. This portrait captures not only Lucien's physical appearance but also his occupation and personal details that were crucial for identification purposes. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable artifact from the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of both the scientific advancements made during that era and the role photography played in documenting individuals within society. Lucien's expression hints at an intriguing story behind his mugshot-like pose. As we gaze into his eyes, we are left wondering about his life experiences and how he ended up captured through Bertillon's lens. The photograph transports us back in time to an era when crime detection techniques were evolving rapidly. Through this powerful image, Alphonse Bertillon invites us to delve deeper into history while contemplating the intersection between science, artistry, and humanity itself.
