I wonder what it would it be like if we still took stylized mugshots like this. I love it.
"Mugshots from the 1920s are Significantly Cooler Than Today's Mugshots"
They had so much style! The poses are great!
We have so many other ways of glamorizing criminals now.
I love these shots. The level of detail is amazing.
Too bad we get the hoodlums with their pants pulled down.
Thank you Liza
Great find, how cool some of these hoodlums look - hats at jaunty angles, hands in pockets or hands on hips!
Oh to have lived in the '20's
PS Is it ok to call you Liza? I am not at my best on this board and never know how to shorten names!
I can't wait to see the next production of Threepennny Opera or Chicago that some smart costume designer uses these mugshots as prime research for. Wow!
^^^^^^
Ha! I was just thinking the same thing.
