Alphonse Bertillon's "Mursch. Eugène. 24 ans à Schlestatt (Bas-Rhin). Ciseleur. Anarchiste. 18/3/94." is a photographic portrait of a young man named Eugène Mursch, a 24-year-old anarchist from Schlestatt, France. Taken in 1894 as part of the Bertillon system, a method of criminal identification using anthropometric measurements, the portrait is a stark, frontal image that captures Mursch's features with a high degree of detail. The image serves as a powerful example of the intersection of photography, social control, and the burgeoning field of criminology in the late 19th century.
