Good ol’ Franky ‘no nose’.In Prisoners, New York artist and photographer Arne Svenson presents some two dozen portraits of turn-of-the-century prisoners, which the artist developed from found negatives. Each image (about one to two feet) is a diptych mug-shot (full face and profile), with the criminal’s name and crime etched into the emulsion and visible above the subject’s head. The crimes range from petty larceny to murder in various ages and races.
We've seen similar mug shots before. Back then from Australia I believe. Fascinating insight into part of society the way it really was back then. These people do not look like they just stepped out of GQ magazine. In three parts.
