"Birilay. Henri, Marc, Julien. 46 ans, né à Chartres (Eure & Loir). Journalier. Anarchiste. 11/3/94." is a photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of anthropometry, a system of identification using body measurements. This mugshot, part of Bertillon's extensive collection, captures the details of a French anarchist. The photograph, taken in 1894, is a powerful example of early criminology and the use of photography for documentation. The starkness of the image and the subject's gaze convey a sense of both individuality and anonymity, highlighting the inherent tension between personal identity and the societal categories we are assigned.
