Vintage Crime Scenes in Paris by Alphonse Bertillion
 Alphonse Bertillion, was a police officer + biometrics researcher in Paris, he invented an identification system based on physical measurements. He also invented the modern mug shot in 1888, using both profile + side-on views + standardised lighting. Bertillon was the first to recognise the importance of using photography to document a crime scene. He recognised that the position of the body, the murder weapon, the footprints + personal artifacts left behind were all imperative to solving cases. Murder scene of Madame Veuve Bol, in Paris, dated 1904:  Another view of the body of Madame Veuve Bol:  The body of Madame Veuve Bol, with a wider view of the room:  Madame Debeinche who was found dead on the floor of her apartment at 9 rue Chalgrin, Paris, on 8th May 1903:  Monsieur Falla, murdered in his sleep, in the corridor of his apartment at 160 Rue du Temple in Paris, 1905:  Assassination of Madame Lecomte at 74 Rue de Martys, Paris, France, 1902:  Assassination at number 7 Rue de la Lanneau, Paris, France, date unknown:  The body of Julia Guillemot, 6 rue des Boulets, Paris, France, 1903:  Another view of the body of Julia Guillemot, in which she has been rolled on to her side:  Assassination of Madame Lecomte at 74 Rue de Martys, Paris, France, 1902:  The aftermath of an attempted assassination - a bombing at the Louvre in a bid to murder the King of Spain Alphone XIII + President of France Emile Loubet. 20 people were injured + 1 horse was killed:  The body of Mrs Guerin found in Courbevoie, Paris, France, 1903:  This scene shows the methodology used to photograph a cadaver as part of a anthropometric identification prior to the autopsy. Bertillon developed the method for identifying both bodies and criminals, which involved nine precise measurements. It was later overtaken by fingerprinting:  The apartment of murdered Madame Lecomte at 74 Rue de Martys, Paris, France, 1902:  A murder scene in Paris, France, 1903:  Following unknown:                 |
