EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tableau synoptic des traits physionomiques: pour servir a l etude du 'portrait parle'" is a remarkable piece of anthropological study by Alphonse Bertillon. Created around 1909, this gelatin silver print showcases the meticulous documentation of facial features for identification purposes. Bertillon, an influential figure in the field of physical anthropology and law enforcement, developed the technique known as bertillonage. This method aimed to accurately classify individuals based on their unique physical characteristics, aiding in criminal investigations and identification processes. In this tableau or visual representation, we witness a diverse collection of faces from various backgrounds and walks of life. Each individual's profile is meticulously captured with great attention to detail – from their eyes to their nose and chin. The composition allows us to observe the distinctiveness that lies within each person's facial structure. Through his work, Bertillon sought to establish a scientific approach towards understanding human physiognomy and its correlation with criminal behavior. His efforts revolutionized forensic science during the late 19th century. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as both an artistic marvel and a historical document. It offers us a glimpse into the early days of criminal profiling while highlighting Bertillon's significant contributions to the field.
