Dufour. Louis. 37 ans, né à Port-Ste-Marie (Lot & Garonne). Bijoutier. Anarchiste. 1894

This 1894 photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon is part of a series of mugshots taken for the French police’s identification system. The subject, Louis Dufour, is a 37-year-old anarchist and jeweler from Port-Sainte-Marie in southwest France. The image exemplifies Bertillon's anthropometric method, a system of criminal identification based on precise physical measurements, which was used for decades to create a comprehensive photographic record of criminals in France. This particular piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York City.
