"Monzon. Lucien, Henri, Baptiste. 18 ans, né à Paris XXe. Couvreur. Anarchiste. 23/3/94." is a photographic portrait of a young French man named Lucien Henri Baptiste Monzon, taken by Alphonse Bertillon in 1894. This mugshot is part of Bertillon's system of anthropometry, a method of criminal identification based on physical measurements. The detailed inscription on the photograph provides information about Monzon's age, birthplace, occupation, and political beliefs. This work is a significant example of Bertillonage, a photographic method used to identify criminals and track recidivism. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this piece.
