Alphonse Bertillon's "Bordes. Guillaume, Auguste. 40 ans, né à Centrayes (Aveyron). Tailleur. Pas de motif. 29/2/94." is a portrait photograph from 1894. The image is part of a larger series of mugshots, known as the Bertillon system, that were used to identify criminals. The system was developed by Bertillon, a French police officer, and was used to identify criminals and track them between different countries. The photograph is a close-up portrait of a man who appears to be wearing a coat and a vest, this picture is also part of a larger collection of portraits by Bertillon, "The Bertillon System" collection. The system was widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and helped to improve the efficiency of law enforcement.
