I wonder what it would it be like if we still took stylized mugshots like this. I love it.

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!
