EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French police officer from the late 19th century. The image, captured by the talented artist Nadar around 1880, portrays Bertillon in profile, highlighting his distinctive beard and commanding presence. During this period, Bertillon served as Chief of the Paris identification bureau and revolutionized criminal investigation with his pioneering method of anthropometric measurements. By meticulously recording various physical characteristics of individuals involved in crimes, he devised a systematic approach to identifying criminals. This groundbreaking technique was employed for several years until it was eventually replaced by fingerprinting. The photograph not only captures the essence of Bertillon's occupation but also reflects his significant contribution to the field of law enforcement. His dedication to scientific methods and meticulous attention to detail earned him recognition as an inventor in the realm of crime detection. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait, we are transported back in time to witness a man who dedicated himself to serving justice and upholding law and order. Alphonse Bertillon stands tall as a symbol of innovation within his profession while leaving an indelible mark on forensic science history.
