Galau. Charles. 18 ans, né à Nogent s/Marne (Seine). Charron. Cris séditieux. Anarchiste. 21/2/91. 1891

This photographic portrait, "Galau. Charles. 18 ans, né à Nogent s/Marne (Seine). Charron. Cris séditieux. Anarchiste. 21/2/91.", was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1891. Bertillon, a French police officer, was known for developing the Bertillon system, an early method of criminal identification using anthropometric measurements. This photograph is a "mugshot" of a young man named Charles Galau, who was 18 years old and a wheelwright from Nogent-sur-Marne. The inscription indicates that Galau was arrested for seditious cries and anarchist activities. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on crime and punishment in late 19th-century France.
