Cabuzac. Jean. 25 ans, né le 23/7/68 à Ivry la Bataille (Eure). Ciseleur. Anarchiste. 12/3/94. 1894

This is a photographic portrait of Jean Cabuzac, an anarchist, taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of criminal identification. The image is a typical example of Bertillon's work: a frontal, close-up portrait with a neutral expression. The detail on the image, including Cabuzac's birth date, profession, and anarchist affiliation, makes it a valuable document for social history. It is a powerful and evocative image of a particular individual within a specific historical context. Bertillonage, the system of identification, was widely adopted in the late 19th century and later replaced with fingerprint technology.
