This photographic portrait of André Livenais, a 39-year-old anarchist and store clerk, was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon, a French criminologist, developed the Bertillon system of anthropometry, using a series of body measurements for criminal identification. This photograph, part of a larger series, was part of Bertillon's effort to create a visual record of criminal suspects. The photograph is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York City.
