Jacot. Charles, Émile. 36 ans, né à Allenjoie (Doubs). Colporteur Anarchiste. 8/3/94. 1894

This is a mugshot of Charles Jacot, a 36-year-old anarchist peddler, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist who developed the first scientific system of criminal identification, known as anthropometry, which used a series of body measurements to identify individuals. The photograph is part of a collection of mugshots created by Bertillon for the French police. The image is an example of portrait photography and a type of photo-identification that was popular in the late 19th century.
