Bruchaesen. Etienne. 31 ans, né à Mag Levard (Hongrie). Tailleur d'habits. Anarchiste. 11/3/94. 1894

"Bruchaesen. Etienne. 31 ans, né à Mag Levard (Hongrie). Tailleur d'habits. Anarchiste. 11/3/94.," is a photographic portrait by Alphonse Bertillon, a French police officer and pioneer of criminal identification techniques. Taken in 1894, this mugshot is part of Bertillon's "anthropometric" photographic series, a system of identification based on precise body measurements and photographs. The image depicts a 31-year-old man named Etienne Bruchaesen, who was born in Mag Levard, Hungary, and identified as a tailor and anarchist. The photograph, which includes a handwritten inscription with Bruchaesen's age and a case number, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. This work exemplifies Bertillon's scientific approach to criminology and the rise of photography as a tool for identification in the late 19th century.
