Historic mugshots taken nearly a century and a half ago are now on display in a brand new exhibition named Captured: Portraits of Crime.
The photos, taken in jails across New South Wales between 1870 and 1930, show portraits of prisoners from all walks of life.
Newly digitised, the images are a snapshot of a bygone era, and provide an insight into the types of criminals that passed through the prison doors of their time.
