EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Haesig Leon, an 18-year-old boilermaker hailing from St-Denis, France. The photograph was taken in 1894 and bears the official stamp of approval from the Prefect of Police. In this black and white portrait, we see Leon staring directly into the camera with a sense of confidence and determination. His rugged appearance hints at his profession as a skilled craftsman in the booming industrial era. The meticulous attention to detail is evident through Bertillon's use of anthropometry, a scientific method he pioneered for criminal identification. The photograph not only serves as documentation but also highlights the intersection between art and science during this period. It captures both the individuality of Leon as well as his role within society - a young man navigating life amidst rapid urbanization and technological advancements. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image stands as a testament to Bertillon's significant contributions to photography and physical anthropology. Through his innovative techniques, he sought to understand human characteristics beyond mere visual representation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it invites us to reflect on our own identities and how they are shaped by our professions, heritage, and societal context.
