EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Renard. Pierre, Alfred. 46 ans, ne a Flain (Haute-Saone) le 27/4/46" takes us back to the late 19th century in France. Captured by Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned photographer and anthropologist of his time, this albumen silver print showcases the fascinating world of criminal identification. In this portrait, we see Pierre Renard - a man with an intriguing past etched on his face. With deep lines and weathered features that tell stories untold, Renard's mugshot becomes more than just a record; it becomes art. Bertillonage was an innovative system developed by Alphonse Bertillon himself for identifying criminals based on precise measurements of their physical attributes. This photograph is not only a testament to the scientific advancements in anthropology but also serves as evidence of the evolving field of photography during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this image stands as a reminder of our rich heritage and the relentless pursuit of justice throughout history. It transports us to another time when crime was met with meticulous investigation methods like those pioneered by Bertillon. As we gaze upon Renard's portrait frozen in time, we are left wondering about his story - what led him down this path? Who was he beyond these cold prison walls? Through this photograph, we catch glimpses into both the enigmatic life of Pierre Renard and the groundbreaking work carried out
