Alphonse Bertillon's "Notelez. Charles, Émile. 29 ans, né à Paris XXe. Portefeuilliste. Anarchiste. 26/2/94." is a photographic portrait from his "mugshot" series. The image shows a man, Charles Emile, a 29-year-old Parisian anarchist, captured in a frontal, standardized pose. The work is a prime example of Bertillon's anthropometric identification system, using precise measurements and detailed descriptions to create a unique record of individuals for criminal investigation purposes. Bertillonage, as the system became known, was widely adopted by police forces around the world, influencing later photographic practices and crime documentation.
