New Orleans Police Department Mug Shots - Storyville Era

Do you have to buy a present for someone you can never figure out what to get them?

Here is the solution! A mug shot of one of the prostitutes arrested during the early 1900s - circa Storyville era. I have created assemblages using leather book covers, vintage laces and fabrics and Victorian buttons. The arrest details - which were on the back of the mug shot card detail the appearance of the unfortunate, address and pertinent information.

A must have for any collector of New Orleans oddities. The price - $65
