This is a photographic portrait of Hubert Bourguoin, an anarchist and mason, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Part of the "Bertillon System" of mugshots, this image was used for identification and classification of criminals in late 19th century France. The portrait, taken in a simple studio setting, highlights Bourguoin's features, including his facial hair and gaze, contributing to the scientific and forensic purpose of the system. The photograph remains a powerful example of Bertillon's influential system, which continues to shape photography and its applications in law enforcement today.
