1920s Police Mugshots

Those are really cool. I wonder what they were arrested for.


Their fashion sense some of them I suspect ... some wild hair styles and what appears to be a man in a tutu.

I loved them all ... Diane Arbus eat your heart out, or maybe she actually worked in Oz for while? 😀

Beautiful photos. If it weren't for the writing on them with the subjects' details, I'd never have guessed they were mugshots…especially the first one.
 
IIRC, there's was a book of Australian mugshots and crime scenes available (pretty sure I saw it at the museum bookstore). Also, if you like mugshots and such, check out 'Least Wanted' on Flickr. He has had a book out for a while.

This image was taken with side by side lenses, probably to get multiple copies.

However in having side by side lenses, it is also a stereo 3D image. I took the two sides and made a 3D red-cyan anaglyph from it.
