These photos were just taken as a joke, probably when Bertillon was developing his mugshot technique and needed someone to practice on. No actual two-year-olds were arrested in the creation of these photos! “1880s nostalgia” with a pic from 1993 yes of course There was also an 1893 From people thinking a toddler was actually arrested, to people somehow misreading “1800s nostalgia” as “1880s,” to this person thinking a fucking daguerreotype was taken in the 1990s… this whole thread was a ride I didn’t expect to take today. This is worse than the math post Just to rectify a little thing: the baby isn’t mentioned to be 2 years old but 2 months old (“âgé de deux mois”, mois means month in french). Have you ever seen a baby ok yes mois means months, but the number there is twenty-three (aka roughly two years) not twowhat two-month-old is that size with that much hair lmfao -- source link
