Alphonse Bertillon’s *Ortiz. Léon. 25 ans, né à Paris. Commis d'architecte. Anarchiste. Voyage ordinairement en bicyclette.* (1894) is part of a series of mugshots of criminals and suspects taken by the French criminologist. This particular image, a photographic portrait, shows the subject in profile and is one of the many anthropometric photographs, which became widely used in the late 19th century for identification purposes. This photograph was taken as part of Bertillon’s method, known as “Bertillonage,” and has a unique handwritten label at the bottom with information about the subject.
