EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the anthropometrical police record of Louis Jean-Baptiste Lepine, Prefet de police, taken on 11th November 1909. The image was captured by a French photographer in the 20th century and is now housed at the Musee de la Prefecture de Police in Paris, France. The photograph showcases Lepine's face from different angles, highlighting his distinct physionomy and facial features. With a well-groomed moustache and goatee, Lepine exudes an air of authority and sophistication. This detailed profile measurement served as an important tool for identifying individuals during that time. Lepine himself played a significant role in criminal identification methods as he was one of the subjects involved in Alphonse Bertillon's invention of anthropometry. As the founder of this scientific system used by police to identify criminals based on physical measurements, Bertillon revolutionized law enforcement practices. Beyond his contributions to law enforcement, Lepine held various notable positions throughout his career. He served as the governor of Algeria and was also recognized as the founder of Concours Lépine - an annual competition showcasing inventions and innovations. This portrait offers us a glimpse into history while shedding light on advancements made in criminal identification techniques during that era. It serves as a testament to both Lepine's influential role within law enforcement circles and Bertillon's groundbreaking work in developing scientific systems for identifying criminals through physical measurements.
