Vidal. Guillaume. 37 ans, né à Tellière (Puy de Dôme). Cocher. Anarchiste. 10/3/94. 1894

Alphonse Bertillon's "Vidal. Guillaume. 37 ans, né à Tellière (Puy de Dôme). Cocher. Anarchiste. 10/3/94." (1894) is a photographic portrait of a French anarchist, Guillaume Vidal. Bertillon, a French criminologist, developed the Bertillon system, an early method of criminal identification based on anthropometric measurements. This photograph, part of the Bertillon system, depicts Vidal in a standardized pose, similar to mugshots, with detailed information about his identity written beneath. The portrait's starkness and the inscription reveal Bertillon's interest in scientific classification and the criminal justice system.
