Coudry. Hubert, Louis. 24 ans, né à Paris XVe. Corroyeur. Anarchiste. 7/3/94. 1894

This photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of criminal identification, depicts Louis Hubert, a 24-year-old French anarchist and leather worker. The image, part of Bertillon's "anthropometric" system, uses detailed measurements and photographic documentation for criminal identification. Created in 1894, the photograph captures Hubert’s likeness with a straightforward, frontal pose and a neutral expression. Bertillon's system, which utilized mugshots and precise physical measurements, revolutionized police identification, though its use also raised concerns about privacy and potential biases. The photograph's starkness and the inclusion of biographical details highlight Bertillon's interest in scientific methods of categorization.
