This mugshot, part of the "Bertillon System" of criminal identification, was created by French criminologist Alphonse Bertillon in 1892. The "Bertillonage" system used a combination of photography and anthropometry to create a unique identifier for criminals. The portrait captures a man identified as "Martin. Constant. 53 ans, né le 5/4/39 à Santrevaux (Basses-Alpes). Crémier. Anarchiste. 27/4/92" revealing information about his age, birth date, occupation, and political affiliation. The image's size and format are typical of the Bertillon System, characterized by close-up frontal views, often presented in the form of small prints.
