EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bertillonage, a groundbreaking system for criminal identification developed by Alphonse Bertillon in 1850. The intricate process involved taking detailed anthropometric measurements such as head size, arm span, scars, and distinguishing features to create unique profiles for each individual.
In this illustration from the 19th century, we see the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of Bertillon's innovative method. Criminals were no longer just faces in a crowd; they were now defined by their physical characteristics and measurements.
The image evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we delve into the world of crime detection in France during this time period. The concept of using biometrics to track down criminals was revolutionary and paved the way for modern forensic techniques still used today.
