Metal Print : Fingerprints made visible with ink
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Fingerprints made visible with ink
Fingerprints made visible with ink, artwork from Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification, 1905. Faulds, a Scottish scientist, was an early developer of fingerprint analysis. Convinced that the patterns of ridges on fingertips were unique, he set about trying to develop a system of analysis. Before prints left on objects could be compared to print of suspects, they had to be rendered visible. Shown here are greasy smudges made on paper and treated with ink. The two prints on the left were simply treated with ink, the print at top right treated with copying ink from printing presses, and the lower right print treated with diluted ink

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking work of Dr. Henry Faulds, a Scottish scientist and pioneer in fingerprint analysis. Dating back to 1905, this artwork from "Dr. Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification" reveals his early attempts at rendering fingerprints visible for comparison and identification. Intrigued by the uniqueness of ridge patterns on fingertips, Faulds dedicated himself to developing a comprehensive system of analysis that would revolutionize crime detection and forensic science. The prints displayed here are greasy smudges made on paper and treated with various types of ink. The quartet of prints offers an insight into different techniques employed by Faulds during his research. The two leftmost prints were simply treated with ink, while the top right print was enhanced using copying ink typically used in printing presses. Lastly, the lower right print was treated with diluted ink. These distinct methods aimed to bring out intricate details within each fingerprint pattern, enabling accurate identification and recognition. By making these previously invisible marks visible through innovative techniques involving different types of inks, Faulds laid the foundation for modern-day fingerprint analysis. This historical artifact not only highlights the advancements made in technology but also emphasizes the importance of meticulous research and scientific exploration in solving crimes. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, pioneers like Dr. Henry Faulds were paving the way for today's sophisticated forensic techniques based on fingerprint evidence.
