Original Photograph Mugshot 19th Century True Crime 8776
Prisoner number 8776 circa 1860s. Original antique mugshot photograph unmounted. A unique image in that the profile reveals the somewhat macabre looking posing stand, crucial in mid 19th century photography to address long exposure times by keeping the head still. No additional information regarding to convict ID, or location. SCARCE!
There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit. – Red
