EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alphonse Bertillon showcases Trucano Victorine, also known as Veuve Belloti, a 54-year-old milliner from St Maurier, Italy. Taken in 1894, this albumen silver print captures the essence of an era marked by political unrest and anarchist movements. Trucano's intriguing story unfolds through her mugshot-like portrait. The image reflects the meticulous anthropometric techniques pioneered by Bertillon to aid in criminal identification. As a pioneer in physical anthropology and forensic science, Bertillon sought to establish a scientific approach to crime investigation. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph offers a glimpse into Trucano's life and occupation as a milliner - one who designs and creates hats. Her profession adds depth to the narrative surrounding women's roles during that time period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece within its collection, showcasing both its artistic value and cultural importance. It serves as a reminder of how photography can transcend mere documentation to become an art form that tells stories about people, professions, politics, and social dynamics. As we observe Trucano's arresting gaze captured over a century ago on this albumen print, we are transported back in time – contemplating not only her individual story but also the broader themes of identity, heritage artistry, and societal change that continue to resonate today.
