EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alphonse Bertillon, a prominent French law enforcement officer and biometrics researcher in 1899. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Oswaldo Tofani. In the image, Bertillon can be seen sitting at a desk in what appears to be a court room setting. This photograph was originally published in Le Petit Journal on September 10th, 1899. Bertillon's significance lies not only in his contributions to law enforcement but also as a key witness during the infamous Dreyfus Affair of that time period. His creation of anthropometry, a system for identifying individuals based on physical measurements, revolutionized criminal investigation techniques. The composition of the photograph captures the essence of Bertillon's occupation and expertise. With his military uniform and authoritative posture, he exudes confidence and professionalism. Pointing towards something outside the frame, he seems engaged in an intense discussion or presentation before a tribunal. The colorization adds depth to this historical moment from France's past while emphasizing its relevance even today. It serves as both an artistic representation and an important record of one man's significant role within the country's legal system. As we observe this image print by AccuSoft Inc. , it reminds us of how individuals like Alphonse Bertillon have shaped our understanding of law enforcement practices throughout history.
