Mérigeau. Jacques. 35 ans, né à St-Léger-les-Melles (Deux Sèvres). Ébéniste. 19/12/93. 1893

Alphonse Bertillon's "Mérigeau. Jacques. 35 ans, né à St-Léger-les-Melles (Deux Sèvres). Ébéniste. 19/12/93." is a photographic portrait of a man, Jacques Merigeau, a 35 year-old cabinetmaker from France. The photograph, taken in 1893, is an example of Bertillon's anthropometric identification system, a method of using physical measurements to identify individuals. This system, developed in the late 19th century, was influential in the development of criminal profiling. The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's extensive collection of photographic materials.
