Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1853 – 1914
Subjects: men,portraits

Born into a distinguished family of scientists and statisticians, Bertillon began his career as a clerk in the Identification Bureau of the Paris Prefecture of Police in 1879. Tasked with maintaining reliable police records of offenders, he developed the first modern system of police identification. The system, which became known as Bertillonage, had three components: anthropometric measurement, precise verbal description of the prisoner’s physical characteristics, and standardized photographs of the face. In the early 1890s Paris was subject to a wave of bombings and assassination attempts carried out by anarchist proponents of "propaganda of the deed." One of Bertillon’s greatest successes came in March 1892, when his system of identification led to the arrest of an anarchist bomber who went by the name Ravachol (2005.100.375.348). The publicity surrounding the case earned Bertillon the Legion of Honor and encouraged police departments around the world to adopt his anthropometric system.

Artist: eugène delacroix
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1798 – 1863
Subjects: tombs,horses

This drawing of the church at Valmont in Normandy shows Delacroix’s masterful handling of the wash medium to create a shadowy ambience. During his visits to his cousin’s estate there, Delacroix was especially transfixed by the partially ruined fifteenth-century church on the property, which appealed to his Romantic imagination. After his first trip, he recalled, "Above all, the old church, half-ruined, where there were tombs, great Gothic windows with dark stained glass, and vaults containing the foundations of the abbey, all of these things inspired a host of romantic ideas." The dreamlike atmosphere conjured by the artist in this wash drawing corresponds with his written reflections on the church as a space of reverie.

The Clipper Yacht "America," Winner of the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup, Value £100 in the Great Match for All Nations at Cowes, August 22nd, and of a Match with the Titania for £100, August 28, 1851
Object type: print

As suggested by the imprinted inscription on this print, a syndicate of New York Yacht Club members, headed by its charter member Commodore John Cox Stevens, decided to build a yacht to sail to England. Their purpose was twofold: to show off U.S. shipbuilding skill and to make money by competing in yachting regattas. On August 22, 1851, their clipper yacht "America" was the first American ship to beat the international competition in the Royal Yacht Squadron's 53-mile (85 km) regatta around the Isle of Wight. Figuring that a picture of this ship would be popular with New York's yacht club members and other American fans, Nathaniel Currier maximized the opportunity to publicize this victorious occasion by making several lithographs of this suddenly famous clipper yacht, which was subsequently sold ten days after the memorable race. The Squadron's "One Hundred Sovereign Cup" or "£100 Cup" was later renamed the "America's Cup" in honor of the original winning yacht featured in this lithograph. Nathaniel Currier, whose successful New York-based lithography firm began in 1835, produced thousands of hand-colored prints in various sizes that together create a vivid panorama of mid-to-late nineteenth century American life and its history. People eagerly acquired lithographs featuring picturesque scenery, rural and city views, ships, railroads, portraits, hunting and fishing scenes, domestic life and numerous other subjects, as an inexpensive way to decorate their homes or business establishments. As the firm expanded, Nathaniel included his younger brother Charles in the business. In 1857, James Merritt Ives (the firm's accountant since 1852 and Charles's brother-in-law) was made a business partner; subsequently renamed Currier & Ives, the firm continued until 1907.

Pair of Stirrups
Object type: stirrup
Date: 1567 – 1600
Materials: gold, iron, silver
Culture: italian
Location: italy

Before being damaged by corrosion, this pair of stirrups was richly decorated with engraved and gilded medallions displaying ancient figures, surrounded by inlaid silver dots and gold damascened arabesques. This decoration is similar to contemporary arms and armor produced in Milan, and could have been part of a similarly adorned set. This sort of wide stirrup, called genette style, was typical of the Islamic world, and widely used in the Ottoman empire at the same time. They were introduced to Europe during the Arab presence in Spain, and then kept by the Spaniards for their light cavalry. In the rest of Europe, they were mostly used during leisure riding or equestrian games, when princes and lords rode their Arabian horses imported from the Ottoman empire. It was common then to ride these horses using Ottoman style tack, imported or made and decorated in Europe.
