Aumarechal. Auguste. 44 ans, ne a Chateaumeillant (Cher) - A Glimpse into the Criminal Portrait of 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the intriguing persona of Aumarechal Auguste, a 44-year-old cabinetmaker from Chateaumeillant (Cher), France. Taken in 1894 by Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for his pioneering work in anthropometry and criminal identification, this albumen silver print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of crime and law enforcement during the late 19th century. Aumarechal's mugshot reveals a man with an enigmatic expression, hinting at his involvement in an association of malfaiteurs or criminal organization.

It serves as a reminder that behind every face lies stories untold; narratives waiting to be
