Leboucher. Edouard, Léon. 43 ans, né à Paris XIVe. Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 7/3/94. 1894

"Leboucher. Edouard, Léon. 43 ans, né à Paris XIVe. Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 7/3/94." is a photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, taken in 1894. This is one of a series of mugshots that Bertillon created as part of his system of criminal identification. The image shows a man identified as Edouard, Leon Leboucher, a 43-year-old anarchist and cobbler from Paris. Bertillon's photographic method, known as anthropometry, involved detailed measurements and photographs of suspects to create a unique record for identification purposes. The image, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the practice of criminal identification in the late 19th century.
