Sicard. André. 32 ans, né à Nîmes le 25/10/62. Bijoutier. Anarchiste. 2/7/94. 1894

This photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer in criminal identification, depicts André Sicard, a French anarchist and jewel thief. The image is part of Bertillon's extensive collection of mugshots, known as the "Bertillon System", which was used to identify and track criminals in the late 19th century. The stark simplicity of the portrait, which focuses on Sicard's face and upper body, highlights the systematic and scientific approach of the Bertillon system. The inscription below Sicard's signature provides detailed information about his age, birthplace, profession, and criminal record, making this a valuable document for understanding criminal justice practices of the era.
