This photographic portrait, titled "Savard. Henri-Auguste. 29 ans, né le 7/5/65 à Paris XXe. Ciseleur. Anarchiste. 2/7/94.", is a striking example of the work of Alphonse Bertillon, a pioneer of criminal identification and photography. Taken in 1894, the image depicts Henri-Auguste Savard, a 29-year-old anarchist and ciseleur (metalworker) from Paris. Bertillon's "mugshots" were part of his anthropometric system, a method of identification based on physical measurements, which influenced criminal photography for decades.
