Some more criminal inspired artworks, or rather unorthodox experimentations (also see last post on the St.John's head sculpture inspired by a decapitated criminal's head).....here's some mugshots by Alphonse Bertillon / from the 'Presume Coupables' (Presumed Guilty) exposition organised by le FNAC in 2008:

 

The last is Bertillon himself.
