At the end of the 19th century, Alphonse Bertillon created the first police laboratory for the scientific identification of criminals and developed the anthropometric photo, with which the accused were inventoried by their measurements and physical markings. The mug shot, as it came to be known, was quickly adopted around the globe, and is today an essential police procedure. This revealing collection presents over 250 mug shots of some of the most infamous suspects in modern history, from mafia bosses and cold-blooded killers to enemies of the state and prominent political activists. Accompanying these gripping images is illuminating commentary that puts both the criminals and their crimes in historical context, and reconstructs some of the most dramatic trials of the 20th century.
