This photo print, titled "Letellier. Louis, Auguste. 29 ans, ne a Rouen (Seine-Inferieure)" captures the essence of an intriguing character from the 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, this albumen silver print showcases his expertise in anthropometry and criminal identification. Louis Auguste Letellier, a 29-year-old employee hailing from Rouen in Seine-Inferieure, stands before us with an air of defiance that belies his anarchist beliefs. The mugshot-like portrait reveals a man who has been arrested for his political activities as an anarchist - a symbol of rebellion against societal norms prevalent during that era.
