Alphonse Bertillon’s 1894 photograph, "Collet. Edouard, Jean-Baptiste. 44 ans, né le 6/1/50 à Paris XVlle. Ciseleur. Anarchiste. 2/7/94" is a mugshot of a French anarchist, Édouard Collet. Bertillon was a French criminologist who developed the Bertillon system of anthropometry, a system of identification based on body measurements. This photograph, part of a series of Bertillon's mugshots, was intended for use in criminal identification. The photograph, taken in a police studio, shows Collet, a 44-year-old Parisian, standing in front of a neutral background. He is wearing a jacket and has a serious expression.
