This is a portrait photograph of Jean Victor Pidoux, an anarchist, taken in 1894 by French photographer Alphonse Bertillon. The photograph was part of Bertillon's "anthropometric" system, which used detailed measurements and photographs to identify criminals. The image features a frontal portrait of Pidoux, with the characteristic Bertillon "mugshot" style and a handwritten identification caption. The photograph demonstrates the use of photography in the development of criminal identification systems in the late 19th century.
