About this work
Description
Twelve bundles of cards each with two fingerprints stuck onto the front and the name of the individual on the reverse. Each person has been assigned a number; the cards do not run in numerical order. There are approximately 90 cards per bundle, except Bundle 1 which consists of a label only.
These bundles are labelled "F-M". Each card has been annotated with either an F or M in the top corner [appears to indicate "male" or "female"?]. There are also additional annotations relating to the patterns of loops and whorls.
