This photographic portrait of Pierre Tournan, a crown maker and anarchist, is part of Alphonse Bertillon’s anthropological criminal identification system. Bertillon, a French police officer, developed a system of mug shots known as “Bertillonage” to identify and track repeat offenders in the late 19th century. This photo captures Pierre Tournan’s physical characteristics and is a significant example of Bertillon’s work.
