Peter Doyle & Caleb Williams :: Thomas Bede, November 22, 1928 from City of Shadows

(Historic Houses Trust, 2005), a recollection of forensic crime photography, created by the New South Wales Police between 1912 and 1960 was rescued by the Historic Houses Trust from a flooded warehouse in the late 1980′s. This book draws on Peter Doyle’s extensive research into these fascinating and often eerily beautiful images of everyday misadventure in Sydney between 1912 and 1948. / via djinn gallery / text source: bol.com
