EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the innovative system of Bertillonage from 1850, a groundbreaking method for identifying criminals through detailed anthropometric measurements. Developed by French police officer and biometrics researcher Alphonse Bertillon, this system revolutionized law enforcement in the 19th century. Intriguingly depicted in this illustration are the meticulous measurements of head size, arm span, scars, and other distinguishing features used to create unique profiles for each individual. This scientific approach to criminal identification was a significant advancement in policing during its time. The historical significance of Bertillonage cannot be understated, as it paved the way for modern forensic techniques still used today. The attention to detail and precision required in gathering these measurements speaks volumes about the dedication of early police forces in Europe to solving crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the ingenuity and perseverance of those who sought to make our communities safer through innovation and technology. The legacy of Alphonse Bertillon lives on through his pioneering work in biometrics research and criminal identification methods.
