Henon. François. 52 ans, né le 5/5/42 à Lyon (Rhône). Caissier. Anarchiste. 2/7/94. 1894

This is a mugshot of François Henon, a 52-year-old cashier and anarchist, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist known for his pioneering work in anthropometry, a system of identification using body measurements. This photograph, part of the Bertillon system, is a key example of the development of forensic science and criminal identification. The photograph, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, features a close-up portrait of Henon, emphasizing his face and upper torso. The image reflects the stark reality of criminal identification at the turn of the 20th century.
