Step back in time with this fascinating piece of criminal history from the County of Westchester, White Plains, NY.

Encased in a sleek double-sided glass and wood frame, this original 1918 mug shot arrest sheet details the arrest of Albert Cote, a 24-year-old baker apprehended for burglary on September 20, 1918.

The front side features Albert Cote’s mug shot along with his physical description: standing five feet, four and a half inches tall, weighing 126 lbs, and appears to have a broken nose. His occupation as a baker and the meticulous record-keeping of the time add a compelling layer to his story.

The reverse side displays a complete set of fingerprints, offering a rare glimpse into the early forensic practices used by law enforcement over a century ago.

The frame is made of wood and glass, with the sheet sandwiched in between two plates of glass.

Frame measures approximately 10.5 inches tall by 10.5 inches wide, and has a depth of approximately 1.4 inches.

In good condition, with some minor warping of the cardstock the sheet is made out of. Please see all photos. This preserved artifact is perfect for history enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone looking to add a unique vintage touch to their decor. Whether displayed on a shelf or hung on a wall, it’s a true conversation starter that brings the past to life.
