Tableau des Nuances de l'Iris Humain by Alphonse Bertillon (1893).Alphonse Bertillon was a French police officer and a biometrics researcher. He studied how different human traits, e.g. height, hair, handwriting etc. can be used in police work to identify potential criminals. The image above shows Bertillon’s detailed descriptions of different types of human iris, which can also be used as a biometric. In 1888 Bertillon also standardised the use of photographic images in police work and invented what we now call a ‘mugshot’.Source Wellcome Collection -- source link
