Mug shots
There is something profoundly disconcerting about these 1940s mugshots and, I suppose, the idea of having a collection of them. That said, I purchased a couple late 19th-century tintypes (ambrotypes, actually) because the people depicted in them were utterly enigmatic and seemed to cry out to have their stories told (via ***Dave). I love the idea of a blog dedicated to "Flea Markets, Thrift Stores, Antique Shops, Garage & Estate Sales, Collecting, Odd Finds, Swaps" but these ski-masks are just creepy.
And then... there are these photographs from the Arkansas State Prison 1915-1937.
