EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Bompeix Eugene, a 53-year-old man born in St Martin d Herbus (Haute-Vienne), France. The image captures his intriguing personality as he stands confidently before the camera, revealing his occupation as a machine operator or machinist. Taken in 1894, this albumen silver print is part of Bertillon's pioneering work in anthropometry and criminal identification. Known for his meticulous measurements and classification system, Bertillon revolutionized forensic science during the late 19th century. In this portrait, Bompeix Eugene exudes an air of mystery with his anarchistic beliefs evident from the word "Anar" written beneath his name. This detail adds depth to our understanding of him as an individual within the context of French society at that time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph not only serves as a historical document but also highlights the intersection between art and science. It offers us a glimpse into the world of physical anthropology and its role in law enforcement during that era. As we contemplate this mesmerizing image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how photography has preserved moments from our past while allowing us to delve deeper into human identity and societal dynamics.
