This is a photographic portrait of Victor Buhr, a 25-year-old German anarchist, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. Bertillon was a French criminologist known for developing the Bertillon system, a method of identification using anthropometric measurements. This photograph, part of Bertillon's extensive collection of mugshots, showcases his unique approach to capturing criminals, revealing an interesting blend of scientific observation and artistic composition. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this small-format image, a testament to the enduring significance of Bertillon's work in the history of criminal identification and photography.
