Maurin. Émile, Auguste. 31 ans, né à Marseille (Bouche du Rhône). Ex photographe. Anarchiste. 2/7/94. 1894

Alphonse Bertillon's "Maurin. Émile. 31 ans, né à Marseille (Bouche du Rhône). Ex photographe. Anarchiste. 2/7/94." (1894) is a photographic portrait of Émile Maurin, a 31-year-old anarchist from Marseille. Bertillon, known for his pioneering work in criminal identification, used his anthropometric system to capture Maurin's physical characteristics in this mugshot. The photograph exemplifies Bertillon's precise and detailed approach to portraiture, highlighting the individual features that helped him identify criminals. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the history of criminal identification and the social anxieties of the late 19th century.
