EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cros Jean, a 19-year-old tailor from Negrin (Tarn), France. Taken in 1894 by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases the meticulous artistry of anthropometry. Intriguingly devoid of any discernible motive, Cros Jean's portrait stands as a testament to the scientific approach employed by Bertillonage in criminal identification during that era. This image serves as an invaluable piece of historical evidence, shedding light on the practices and techniques used in law enforcement at the time. Cros Jean's striking features are accentuated by his serious expression, hinting at a man dedicated to his craft. His occupation as a tailor is proudly displayed through his attire, reflecting both his expertise and societal role within French culture. As we delve into this photograph's rich narrative, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an individual; it symbolizes an entire era marked by advancements in physical anthropology and forensic science. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image not only offers insight into one man's life but also provides us with valuable glimpses into our shared heritage. Through Alphonse Bertillon's lens, we are transported back to a time when photography was not only an art form but also a powerful tool for documenting professions and aiding criminal investigations.
