You are looking at one of the first crime scene photos ever taken The corpse of Madame Debeinche, who was murdered in her Paris apartment on May 5, 1903, lay completely motionless. Her photo is one of thousands snapped by Alphonse Bertillon, a police clerk in Paris who revolutionized detective work. Not only was Bertillon the first to photograph a crime scene, but he also streamlined the use of mugshots. By 1884, his groundbreaking new criminal codification method helped catch 241 repeat offenders in Paris. At first glance, the faded 1903 photograph of Mme Debeinche’s bedroom, bound in the yellowed pages of an early 20th-century album, shows what looks to be an unremarkable middle-class Parisian apartment of the time. The overstuffed room brims with floral decoration, from the wallpaper and heavy swag curtains to the carpeting, chair upholstery—even the chamber pot. A large reproduction of Alexandre Cabanel’s voluptuous 1863 painting, “Birth of Venus,” hangs on the wall. A sizeable unm

A Sikkimese lady carries a British merchant on her back. West Bengal, 1903 There was a claimed that the man was British, that he was the woman’s ‘master’, that he forced the woman to do this, and that he used this woman as a common form of transport. How true could this be? The initial claim was that this was a ‘Sikkimese woman carrying a British man on her back, West Bengal, India, 1900.’ There were several different versions including one claiming the woman was African. The truth of the matter was that the man was not british. Here is the true story  A French colonial administrator of French Indochina called François Pierre Rodier, visited an area which is now Myanmar (Burma) not on official duty In his diary he writes about his amazement of the local people who carried the elderly and the young as well as huge amounts of general items in baskets on their backs. The wife of the translator and guide Rodier was using (who he only refers to as Myint-U) during his trip is the woman in th

Kreepen man  The kreepen Man was a bog body found in Lower Saxony near Verden, Germany, 1903.  The body was of a naked man lying face down with branches binding his hands and feet. His face was very well preserved, as was his feet. Arms and hands had to be recovered in pieces.  He had long blonde hair which came off the head while removing him due to being stuck in the bog.  There isn't much to say about this body, it doesn't exist anymore, thus no further analysis can be made. During WWII, the body was located at the Berlin Ethnographic Museum and was destroyed in one of all bombing raids. We don't know how old the body was either, radiocarbon dating was invented after WWII.  Hair believed to have belonged to the Kreepen Man was given to the Elisabethfehn Moor and Fehn Museum in 1988, radiocarbon dating of the hair gave the result 1440 - 1625 AD. Without the body and the uncertain documentation of the hair this cannot be confirmed. Undiluted Relationship and information br
