Bruneau. Amédé, Jean Baptiste. 46 ans, né à Châteauroux (Indre). Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 2/3/94. 1894

Alphonse Bertillon's "Bruneau. Amédé, Jean Baptiste. 46 ans, né à Châteauroux (Indre). Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 2/3/94." is a portrait photograph of a man identified as an anarchist. This work, created in 1894, is part of Bertillon's larger project of photographing and documenting criminals, known as the "Bertillonage" system. The photo exhibits the clear, detached style of mugshots, capturing Bruneau's physical features in a standardized format, contributing to the development of criminal identification techniques in the late 19th century. Bertillon's photographic study of criminals influenced the development of early forensic photography and the evolution of mugshots as a common tool in law enforcement.
