"Handrock. Frédéric(k). Vilhem. 34 ans, né à Lyeck (Allemagne). Doreur sur bois. Anarchiste. 2/3/94" is a photographic portrait of a man named Frederic Vilhem Handrock, an anarchist wood gilder, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist who developed the Bertillon system of anthropometry, a method of criminal identification based on body measurements. This portrait, along with many others in the Bertillon system, served as a visual record of individuals, capturing their physical features for identification purposes. The image is a compelling example of the use of photography in law enforcement and criminology in the late 19th century.
