Barbichon. Jacques, Émile. 62 ans, né à Provins. Marchand de mouron. Anarchiste. 9/3/91. 1891

This photographic portrait, titled "Barbichon. Jacques, Émile. 62 ans, né à Provins. Marchand de mouron. Anarchiste. 9/3/91.", is part of Alphonse Bertillon's "mugshot" series, which he created in 1891. Bertillon was a French police official who developed the first system of criminal identification, known as anthropometry, which measured physical characteristics. This series was a key part of Bertillon's work and a fascinating example of the use of photography in law enforcement and criminal justice.
