EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Rampin. Pierre. 3/7/94,1894" was created by the renowned French anthropologist and criminologist Alphonse Bertillon. Taken in the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases Bertillon's expertise in the field of anthropometry. The image depicts a man named Pierre Rampin, who is captured with striking clarity against a plain background. This mugshot-like portrait serves as an important historical document for identification purposes within the realm of law enforcement during that era. Bertillon's meticulous approach to measuring physical features played a significant role in criminal investigation and forensic science at the time. His innovative system of body measurements aimed to establish unique profiles for individuals, aiding in their identification and classification within society. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it offers us a glimpse into both the scientific advancements made by Bertillon and the cultural context of 19th-century France. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this piece as part of its heritage art collection, preserving not only an individual's likeness but also shedding light on an influential chapter in history. Through his pioneering work merging photography with anthropology, Alphonse Bertillon left an indelible mark on both fields. This compelling image stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal.
