This photographic portrait, "Colombet. Frédéric. 28 ans, né à Prigonnieux (Dordogne). Employé de commerce. Anarchiste. 2/3/94.", was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist who developed the Bertillon system, an early method of criminal identification that relied on a series of detailed physical measurements. The image is a mug shot of Frédéric Colombet, a 28-year-old French anarchist who was employed as a commercial clerk. This photograph is part of a larger collection of Bertillon's mugshots, which have been used for both scientific and artistic purposes.
