This 1894 photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, known as "Etiévant. Henri, Achille. 32 ans, né à Flammanville (Manche). Typographe. Anarchiste. 4/3/94", is part of a series of mugshots taken by the French criminologist. Bertillon's anthropometric system used a detailed photographic record of criminals, including precise measurements, to assist in identification. This mugshot, captured in a straightforward, frontal pose, captures the subject's features, including his distinctive mustache and beard, typical of photographic documentation of the era.
