Alphonse Bertillon�������s Instructions For Taking Descriptions For The Identification Of Criminals And Others, By Means Of Anthropometric Indications (1889) is a book that provides a detailed guide on how to take accurate physical measurements of individuals for the purpose of identification. The author, Alphonse Bertillon, was a French criminologist who developed a system of anthropometry, which involved taking precise measurements of various parts of the body, such as the head, face, and limbs, to create a unique identification record for each individual. The book includes detailed instructions on how to take these measurements, as well as how to record and organize the data. It also contains illustrations and photographs to help readers understand the process. The system of anthropometry was widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a means of identifying criminals and other individuals, and Bertillon�������s book was an important resource for law enforcement officials and others involved in the field of criminal identification. Overall, Alphonse Bertillon�������s Instructions For Taking Descriptions For The Identification Of Criminals And Others, By Means Of Anthropometric Indications (1889) is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the development of modern forensic science and the methods used to identify individuals in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
