Francis Galton

Francis Galton was very interested in composite portraiture and whether you could identify a particular identity of a person, such as criminals. He was very fascinated by wanting to know if there was a specific look for a criminal. In his studys he took images of criminals and created composites of them to see if you could tell if that person was a criminal just by looking at the image and not knowing thier personality.

Francis Galton had a limited supply of technical support to back up his theory, therefore he could never use his composite of images to define an image that is the criminal type.
