TitleGaol picture of an unidentified male.
DescriptionThe Habitual Criminals Act of 1869 required a register with an accompanying photograph to be kept of all criminals held in gaols (Habitual Criminal Returns registers). Arthur Maddison was employed to photograph the prisoners in Huntingdon Gaol, and a few glass plates have survived in the WH9 series. Here we have an image of an unidentified male. The original glass plate has two images of the prisoner, and the identifying no. 216 or 276 [the middle number has emulsion damage] written on the plate

Huntingdonshire Archives hold two Habitual Criminal Returns registers 1870-1878 (Reference 4440/367/89). All the images in the first register have been digitised and can be viewed on our CALM catalogue. This image does not appear in either of the registers, therefore cannot be identified
Date[1876]
