Artist: alphonse bertillon
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.

Panel
Object type: panel
Date: 701 – 900
Materials: wood
Techniques: carving
Location: iraq

This carved wooden panel came to the museum through an unusual source, the British art and antiquity dealer Sydney Burney (1878–1951), known mostly for his trade in African and modern art and for having served as the President of the British Antique Dealers’ Association. His only ventures into the market for Islamic art are limited to an assemblage of carved wood which he sold to the Met, the British Museum, and the Louvre. It is yet unknown how the London-based dealer obtained these artifacts, of which the large part are said to have been found in Tikrit in Iraq. From this group, the fragments 33.41.7, 33.41.8, 33.41.10, 33.41.11, 33.41.12 display the same patterns and style of this panel; they may have originally belonged to one object. Their decoration, displaying a continuous scroll of trilobed leaves, is evocative of Late Antique and early Islamic visual languages.

Robe à l'anglaise
Object type: robe à l'anglaise
Date: 1785 – 1787

In eighteenth-century dress, the torso was encased by layers of quilted linen and boning that constitute an exaggerated exoskeleton. An inevitable consequence of this redefinition of the torso is an emphasis on the hip and bustline. By mid-century, especially in France, the style was for the bust, veiled by lace or a sheer mull fichu, to emerge above the top line of the bodice.

Glass plate with head of Medusa
Object type: plate with head of medusa
Date: 201 – 300
Materials: glass
Culture: roman
Subjects: heads,medusa

Translucent pale blue green. Rounded, upturned, and outsplayed rim, curving in below to flat body; integral low base ring with rounded edge. On underside of body, circular pattern of thirty-five outward-pointing incised tongues, outlined with incised lines, within a raised border around base ring; with base ring, an incised circle surrounds an engraved head of Medusa with flowing locks and wings, facing frontally but looking slightly to the left. Intact, except for large chip in base ring; tiny pinprick bubbles; dulling, patches of pitting with brown weathering on upper surface of body, iridescence and faint whitish weathering on underside. This small glass plate was published in 1997 as a 19th-century forgery, but a more recent study has concluded that both the object and the cut decoration are Roman. Although this vessel is said to have come from Rome, its closest parallels are known from sites such as Trier and Xanten in the Rhineland. In later Roman times, some cast glass was produced in preference to blown glass, as with this example, allowing for a thicker vessel wall and deeper cutting of the decoration.
