VINTAGE MUGSHOTS FROM THE 1920S

Posted in: Uncategorized

Check out these mugshots from the 1920s! The photos come from the Sydney Justice and Police Museum, and some include descriptions of the crooks’ crimes, such as “hotel barber, meaning one who books into a hotel, boarding house or residential and robs fellow patrons, usually in the dead of night.”

For more pics of criminals and a description of their crimes, check out Twisted Sifter
