Sachet. Edmond. 27 ans, né à Mézières (Ardennes). Typographe. Anarchiste. 1/3/94. 1894

Alphonse Bertillon's 1894 photograph, "Sachet. Edmond. 27 ans, né à Mézières (Ardennes). Typographe. Anarchiste. 1/3/94.," is a striking example of the French criminologist's influential "Bertillonage" system. This photographic portrait, part of a larger series, captures the physical characteristics of Edmond Sachet, an anarchist and typographer, for identification purposes. The image, with its focus on the subject's face and posture, emphasizes the meticulous details of Bertillon's method, which revolutionized criminal identification in the late 19th century.
