Morel. Benoit. 33 ans, né le 6/11/61 à St Laurent d'Orringt (Rhône). Ébéniste. Anarchiste. 8/3/94. 1894

This 1894 photograph, "Morel. Benoit. 33 ans, né le 6/11/61 à St Laurent d'Orringt (Rhône). Ébéniste. Anarchiste. 8/3/94.," is part of a series of mugshots created by Alphonse Bertillon, a French criminologist, to aid in the identification of criminals. The image, part of the Bertillon system, depicts a man, identified as an anarchist, in a frontal view with a neutral expression. The photograph was taken at the time of his arrest and includes his name, age, profession, birthdate, and the date of his arrest. This is an example of an early form of photographic documentation, and it exemplifies the use of photography in forensic science.
