EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned French scholar and the brilliant mind behind anthropometry. The photograph, taken by esteemed French photographer Leonard de Selva in the 19th century, beautifully captures Bertillon's intellectual presence. Alphonse Bertillon (1853-1914) was a pioneer in his field, revolutionizing criminal investigation with his innovative system of body measurements. His method of identifying individuals based on physical characteristics played a crucial role in forensic science during his time. In this striking image, Bertillon exudes an air of confidence and intelligence. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through the lens, revealing a man deeply committed to his work. The meticulous attention to detail is evident not only in the subject's appearance but also in the composition of the photograph itself. As we admire this remarkable piece from a private collection, we are reminded of Alphonse Bertillon's lasting impact on both academia and law enforcement. This print serves as a testament to his legacy as one of France's most influential scholars. With its timeless quality and historical significance, it offers us a glimpse into an era when photography was still emerging as an art form while celebrating one man's dedication to advancing scientific knowledge.
