Charlier. Ernile, Frédéric. 40 ans, né à Brest (Finistère). Peintre. Vol. 18/3/94. 1894

Alphonse Bertillon's "Charlier. Ernile, Frédéric. 40 ans, né à Brest (Finistère). Peintre. Vol. 18/3/94." is a photographic portrait from 1894. It depicts Ernile Frédéric Charlier, a 40-year-old painter from Brest, France. The image is part of Bertillon's anthropometric system, which used detailed photographs and measurements to identify criminals. The photograph's simple composition and focus on Charlier's face and body emphasize Bertillon's scientific approach to identification. This portrait is a significant example of the use of photography for scientific and criminal purposes in the late 19th century.
