Alphonse Bertillon's "Mayence. Gustave, David. 33 ans, né le 29/5/60 à Paris XVllle. Tapissier. Anarchiste. 17/3/94." is a photographic portrait of a French anarchist, taken in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist known for his pioneering work in anthropometry, a system of identification based on physical measurements. His photographic portraits, part of the "Bertillonage" system, are considered early examples of mugshots and were used for criminal identification. The portrait, with its precise details and inscription of the subject's name, age, occupation, and birthdate, reflects Bertillon's scientific approach to criminal identification.
