Labeyrie. Romain. 19 ans, né le 13/11/74 à Cauna (Landes). Sculpteur. Anarchiste. 10/1/94. 1894

This photograph, "Labeyrie. Romain. 19 ans, né le 13/11/74 à Cauna (Landes). Sculpteur. Anarchiste. 10/1/94.", was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894 as part of his system of criminal identification. Bertillon's system, known as anthropometry, used precise measurements of the body to create a unique profile of each individual. The photograph shows a young man, Romain Labeyrie, who was 19 years old at the time and identified as an anarchist sculptor. This type of mug shot, which combines a portrait with descriptive information, became a defining aspect of the era, offering a glimpse into the methods of police identification in the late 19th century.
