‘English May’ Smith, Special Photograph number 396, 2 June 1921, Central Police Station, Sydney

In the 1920s Sydney police began selectively photographing individuals they thought were, or were likely to become, professional criminals. These remarkable images, which police called 'special photographs', came to light after recent research by Sydney author Peter Doyle into the museum’s Forensic Photography Archive.
