This photographic portrait, part of the Bertillon system of criminal identification, was taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. It depicts Edouard Degernier, a 45-year-old tailor and anarchist from Ghent, Belgium. The photograph, a type of mug shot, is notable for its focus on the subject's facial features and overall appearance, utilizing Bertillon's methods to standardize criminal identification. The use of a neutral background and direct gaze contribute to the image's objectivity and scientific intent.
