EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of early 20th century criminology with this photograph print from Portrait Parle Class in Paris. Taken between c1910 and c1915, this image captures a group of students intensely studying the Bertillon method of criminal identification, developed by renowned French criminologist Alphonse Bertillon.
The black-and-white photograph shows the class gathered around a table, scrutinizing diagrams and notes as they learn to apply the principles of Bertillonage. The atmosphere is one of focused attention, with each student deeply engaged in their studies.
This remarkable image not only provides a glimpse into the educational practices of early 20th century France but also highlights the significance of Alphonse Bertillon's groundbreaking work in criminology. His method, which involved measuring and recording physical characteristics such as nose shape and ear size to aid identification, revolutionized forensic science at the time.
This photograph print is a testament to the pioneering spirit of George Grantham Bain, founder of Bain News Service, who was known for his innovative approach to press photography. With its rich historical context and fascinating subject matter, this image is sure to captivate anyone interested in history, education, or criminology.
