Alphonse Bertillon's "Labrie. Oscar, Alexandre. 33 ans, né à Charenton (Seine). Marchand de vins. Anarchiste. 2/7/94." is a photographic portrait from 1894. The photograph features a mugshot of Oscar Labrie, a 33-year-old wine merchant and anarchist. Bertillon, a French criminologist, developed a system of anthropometry for criminal identification using mugshots and measurements. This work is an example of Bertillon's anthropometric system, known as Bertillonage, which was used by police departments around the world. This image, part of a larger collection of criminal portraits by Bertillon, offers a glimpse into the history of criminal identification and the development of photographic techniques in the 19th century.
