Tournadre. Jacques (ou Eugène). 32 ans, né à Marchal (Cantal). Journaliste. Anarchiste. 3/3/94 1894

This photographic portrait, "Tournadre. Jacques (ou Eugène). 32 ans, né à Marchal (Cantal). Journaliste. Anarchiste. 3/3/94," is a striking example of Alphonse Bertillon's innovative system of criminal identification. Taken in 1894, the image showcases Bertillon's "anthropometric" technique, which used precise measurements and detailed photographs to create a unique record of each individual. The subject, a 32-year-old anarchist journalist, is captured in a frontal pose, offering a stark, objective representation that emphasizes the scientific nature of the Bertillon system. This system, later adopted by law enforcement agencies worldwide, played a pivotal role in the development of modern criminal identification and photography.
