Francier. Éloi. 41 ans, né le 28/10/53 à Resson-le-Long (Aisne). Ébéniste. Anarchiste. 22/5/94. 1894

This photographic portrait of Francier Éloi, an anarchist cabinetmaker, was taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon. As part of the "Bertillonage" system, which used anthropometric measurements to identify criminals, Bertillon's images, also known as mugshots, are characterized by their stark, frontal composition and focus on precise detail. The photograph is a valuable document of social history, offering a glimpse into the criminal justice system of late 19th-century France.
