EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Alphonse Bertillon revolutionized the field of forensic science with his groundbreaking technique known as Bertillonage. In this engraving from the 19th century, we see Bertillon meticulously taking measurements of a criminal's left foot during the process of anthropometric reporting. Bertillon's system, based on precise physical measurements and detailed descriptions, provided law enforcement with a scientific method for identifying criminals. Before the advent of anthropometry, criminals could only be identified by name or photograph, making it difficult to accurately track repeat offenders. Through his innovative approach, Bertillon not only created a more efficient way to catalog and identify individuals but also paved the way for modern forensic techniques used in criminal investigations today. His work laid the foundation for advancements in criminal identification and investigation methods that continue to shape law enforcement practices around the world. This print serves as a reminder of Alphonse Bertillon's lasting impact on forensic science and his contribution to creating a safer society through meticulous attention to detail and scientific rigor.
