This is a portrait photograph taken by Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of criminal identification. The photograph, part of the Bertillon System, was created in 1894 and depicts Jean-Baptiste Brosselin, a 32-year-old anarchist and carpenter. Bertillon developed a system of anthropometric measurements and photographs for classifying criminals, making this work an important example of early forensic photography. The photograph is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
