"Grugeau. Alfred, Alphonse. 26 ans, né à Tours (Indre & Loire). Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 9/3/94." is a photographic portrait taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of criminal identification techniques, as part of his anthropometric system. This mugshot, part of a larger series, depicts Alfred Grugeau, a 26-year-old French anarchist and shoemaker from Tours. Bertillon's use of photography in law enforcement ushered in a new era of criminal identification, and his work continues to influence forensic practices today.
