These gruesome crime scene photos from 1910s New York were never supposed to see the light of day.

Used by early 20th century detectives to solve grisly murder cases, the images were meant to be thrown into the Hudson but, for better or worse, they survived.




The photos, which include a couple slaughtered in bed and a bloodied boy left to die in a hallway, highlight the dark underbelly of a city gripped by violent gang warfare.




The pictures, unearthed during renovations of the former NYPD headquarters in 2012, give an insight into New York in the decade before prohibition, which itself brought a fresh wave of violent crime.

New York's population grew by nearly one million between 1910 and 1920. The city became as dangerous as it was overcrowded.

In the early years 1900s, homicide rates in New York City were ten times higher than those of murder rates in London in the same time.

Police photographers in the early 20th Century used special tripods with cameras suspended above the victim to get overhead shots.

These images from one of the darkest eras in New York's history have now been collated in a new book, 'Murder in the City, New York, 1910-1920', by Wilfried Kaute.
