EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marie Zanini, a 28-year-old widow born in Turin, Italy. Taken in 1894 by the renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print is a testament to his expertise in anthropometry and physical anthropology. Marie Zanini's occupation as a cook is evident from her confident posture and determined gaze. The photograph captures her essence as she stands proudly, representing the hardworking women of that era. Bertillon's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in this mugshot-style portrait. With its crisp lines and stark contrast between light and shadow, the image exudes an air of authenticity that was crucial for identification purposes during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to 19th-century France. This photo serves not only as a record of Marie Zanini but also as evidence of the advancements made in criminal science at the time. Now housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece offers us a glimpse into both French heritage art and early scientific practices. It reminds us how photography can bridge different fields such as law enforcement and fine arts while preserving moments frozen in time. Alphonse Bertillon's work continues to captivate audiences today through images like these – windows into our past that allow us to reflect on our shared human experience.
