This 1894 photographic portrait, titled *Perrot. Jean. 33 ans, né le 18/11/61 à Tulle (Corrèze). Cordonnier. Anarchiste. 2/7/94.*, is part of the renowned *Bertillon System*, a method of criminal identification developed by Alphonse Bertillon, a French anthropologist and criminologist. It was one of the first systematic attempts to use photography for police work. The photograph's starkness and directness, along with its informative caption, highlight the system's focus on visual documentation and classification. The image, featuring Jean Perrot, a 33-year-old anarchist shoemaker from Tulle, France, provides a glimpse into the lives of individuals who were documented through the system. The work is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, demonstrating the historical significance of the *Bertillon System* in the development of criminal justice.
