I have previously posted mugshots of Victorian child criminals in England. These are the very first adult mugshots from Bedford Prison, taken between 1859 and 1876 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-thieves-thugs-conman-impersonated-vicar.html
I imagine these fellows looked like what agents were sweeping up in the slums of New York to draft into the Union Army at war's end.
Joseph Blagdon, age 44, 1860. His crime was begging.
William Flint, 29, also begging.
