Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

St. Paul Police identification cards Although most of the mug shot cards were created by the St. Paul Police Department, a number originated from the following cities' departments: Duluth, Minneapolis, Superior [Wisconsin], Chicago, Kansas City, Fargo, Denver, Burlington [Iowa], Somersworth [New Hampshire], and Lansdale [Pennsylvania]. Most are marked "Personal Property Jno. J. O'Connor," presumably John J. O'Connor, St. Paul's Chief of Police from 1900-1912 and 1914-1920.

Most of the Bertillon cards also originated from the St. Paul Police Department, but some are from the Minneapolis Police Department. The Bertillon System was developed by French criminologist Alphonse Bertillon in the early 1880s to increase the accuracy of criminal identification by measuring certain bony portions of the body, including the skull, foot, cubit, trunk and left middle finger. These measurements were then divided into small, medium and large groupings and further placed into 243 distinct categories and 1,701 separate groupings. This identification method spread throughout Europe and was introduced into the United States in 1887. It was an improvement over just mug shots/basic physical measurements and a forerunner to fingerprinting.
