Autoren-Porträt von William James Herschel
William James Herschel (1833-1917) was an English civil servant and pioneer in the use of fingerprinting for identification purposes. Born into the distinguished Herschel family, which included the renowned astronomer Sir William Herschel, he displayed a flair for innovation from a young age. Herschel's career in the Indian Civil Service is where his most notable contributions to biometrics were made, particularly during his tenure in Bengal (now West Bengal and Bangladesh). His fascination with fingerprints began as a method to prevent fraud among local pensioners. The practice of using handprints and later fingerprints became an integral part of his administrative routine, representing one of the earliest systematic applications of fingerprint identification. Herschel's efforts laid the groundwork for the scientific study of fingerprints, culminating in his seminal work, 'The Origin of Finger-Printing' (1916). This text not only chronicles his own experiments and observations but also serves to cement his legacy as a critical figure in the development of forensic science. Herschel's application of fingerprinting is a testament to his forward-thinking approach and stands as an early bridge between bureaucratic procedures and scientific inquiry.
