"Damalix. Émile, Auguste. 37 ans, né à St-Claude (Doubs). Charpentier. Anarchiste. 19/3/94" is a photographic portrait of an anarchist by Alphonse Bertillon, a French police official who pioneered the use of anthropometry, a system of identification based on bodily measurements. Created in 1894, the image is a mugshot, a standard police procedure of the time. It captures the subject's physical characteristics in a straightforward manner, with a neutral expression and clear view of the face. The portrait is an example of Bertillon's work, which contributed to the development of forensic science.
