A first "composite portraiture" of criminals

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sir Francis Galton devoted many years of study to the use of "Composite Portraiture", in which photographs of different subjects were combined, through repeated limited exposure, to produce a single blended image. Galton perfected the technical details of the method by repeated trial-and-error over many years, using apparatus of his own design. He was especially interested in the use of these composites to test if there was a recognizable criminal type revealed by them, but his experiments in this direction proved that, within the range of data available to him, no such type revealed itself. The portraits of criminals tended to blend away into normality.
