EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases the enigmatic figure of Schouppe Placide, also known as Ricken Franz. At the age of 31, this Belgian-born mechanic is immortalized in a mugshot-like portrait that reflects the meticulous anthropometric techniques employed by Bertillon. The image exudes an air of mystery, with Schouppe's piercing gaze capturing our attention. His occupation as a mechanic is evident from his rugged appearance and work-worn hands, offering a glimpse into the world of labor during this era. Bertillonage, pioneered by Alphonse Bertillon himself, was an innovative system used for criminal identification and investigation. This photograph serves as both documentation and evidence within this scientific field. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this piece as part of its heritage art collection. As we delve into Schouppe's story through this photograph, it reminds us of the intersection between science and law enforcement during that time period. It prompts us to ponder upon questions about crime prevention methods utilized in France at that time. Alphonse Bertillon's mastery behind the lens shines through in every detail captured within this print - from Schouppe's distinct features to the raw emotion emanating from his expression. This remarkable piece offers a window into history while showcasing photography's power to preserve moments frozen in time forever.
