Alphonse Bertillon's "Schulé. Armand. 21 ans, né le 28/2/73 à Choisy-le-Roi. Comptable. Anarchiste. 2/7/94." is a photographic portrait of a man named Armand Schulé, a 21-year-old accountant and anarchist, taken in 1894 as part of Bertillon's system of criminal identification. This mugshot, with its detailed biographical information, is a prime example of Bertillon's anthropometric system, which used a series of body measurements and photographs to create a unique record for each individual. The image, part of Bertillon's larger archive, is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
