    Activity: Bertillonage Measurements Name:

    Student ID #:

    Alphonse Bertillon, a police department file clerk in Paris, developed a complex method of measuring and
    categorizing individuals during the second half of the 19th century. Also known as Bertillonage, this system
    collected numerous body measurements and categorized various facial features of a person, and was used
    in the United States and in Europe to identify criminals in the penal system from the late 19th to early 20th
    centuries. In addition to photographs of each individual, a set of complex anthropometric measurements
    and feature classifications were collected on a card, which was catalogued to serve as a unique identity
    card for that person. The complexity of the system made it difficult and it gave way to a new identification
    method—fingerprinting—in early 20th century.
