Alphonse Bertillon’s *Cros. Jean. 19 ans, né à Négrin (Tarn). Tailleur d'habits. Pas de motif. 8/3/94.* is a mugshot photograph from the 1890s. Bertillon, a French criminologist, developed a system of anthropometry (the measurement of the human body) to identify criminals. This portrait of a young man named Jean Cros is a prime example of the artist's unique photographic style, a technique widely adopted in police departments worldwide. Bertillon's photographs, a testament to his scientific methodology, have become influential in the history of portraiture and photography.
