Alphonse Bertillon's "Augendre. Ernest. 37 ans, né à St-Pierre le Moutier (Nièvre). Maçon. Anarchiste. 1/3/94." is a photographic portrait of a French anarchist, Ernest Augendre, taken in 1894. The portrait is a mugshot, a photographic record taken by law enforcement for identification purposes. The image showcases Bertillon's innovative "Bertillonage" system, which utilized anthropometric measurements and photography to classify and identify individuals. This system was widely adopted by police departments around the world, and it laid the groundwork for modern criminal identification methods. The portrait is part of a larger collection of Bertillon's mugshots, which offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of criminal identification and the social and political context of late 19th-century France.
