EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Notation of Scars, Schematic Drawings, ca. 1893" by Alphonse Bertillon takes us back to the late 19th century in France. The image showcases the meticulous work of Bertillon, a pioneer in forensic science and anthropometry. In this intriguing portrait, a male subject stands with his bare feet planted firmly on the ground. His arms are outstretched as if offering himself for examination. The man's body is marked with various scars that have been meticulously documented through schematic drawings. Bertillon's innovative approach to identification and measurement aimed to create a scientific system for classifying criminals based on physical characteristics such as scars. This method revolutionized criminal investigation techniques at the time and laid the foundation for modern forensic science. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds an air of mystery to the photograph, emphasizing both its artistic value and scientific significance. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into an era when photography was not only used for capturing beauty but also played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of crime detection. Today, this remarkable albumen silver print can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it serves as a testament to Alphonse Bertillon's groundbreaking contributions to both artistry and science in the field of anthropology and criminal law enforcement during the late 19th century.
