One wanted poster and a group of seven mugshot cards from the Oregon State Penitentiary, dating c. 1910-1920. The wanted poster lists a reward for the capture of or information related to Abe Rostein, who escaped from the penitentiary in 1918. The mugshot cards list the names, crimes, and sentences of the photographed men. Several mugshot cards also list the arrested individuals' Bertillon measurements, an early form of forensic profiling, as well as fingerprint descriptions. All items are in good condition, with some fading/toning consistent with their age. [ Portland Oregon
