EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment in history when Alphonse Bertillon revolutionized forensic science with his groundbreaking anthropometric system. In the image, Bertillon is meticulously measuring the left foot of a subject, one of the many precise physical measurements he used to create a unique identification system for criminals. This method, known as Bertillonage or forensic anthropometry, was a significant advancement in law enforcement during the late 19th century. Before Bertillon's innovative technique, criminals could only be identified by name or photograph. With anthropometry, police were able to scientifically and accurately identify individuals based on their physical characteristics alone. This marked the beginning of a more systematic approach to criminal investigation and helped streamline the process of identifying suspects. The engraving from the 19th century provides a glimpse into Bertillon's meticulous work and dedication to improving law enforcement practices. His contributions laid the foundation for modern forensic science and continue to influence criminal investigations today. This print serves as a reminder of Alphonse Bertillon's lasting impact on forensic science and his pioneering efforts in developing an effective method for identifying criminals through precise physical measurements.
