EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French police officer and biometrics researcher. The photograph, taken by Stefano Bianchetti in the 19th century, captures the essence of this influential scientist who revolutionized the field of anthropometry. Alphonse Bertillon's contribution to science cannot be overstated. He is credited with creating anthropometry, a method that uses precise body measurements for identification purposes. This innovative technique played a crucial role in criminal investigations during his time and laid the foundation for modern forensic science. In this striking image, Bertillon exudes an air of intelligence and determination. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate beyond the surface as if he possesses an innate understanding of human nature. The meticulous attention to detail in his appearance reflects his dedication to scientific inquiry. The photograph transports us back to 19th-century France, where Bertillon's groundbreaking work took place. It serves as a reminder of how one individual's passion can shape an entire field of study and leave a lasting impact on society. This rare portrait print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection offers us a glimpse into the life and achievements of Alphonse Bertillon—a man whose legacy continues to influence law enforcement practices today.
