[image error]Forensic detail of bullet holes in a car window – 1942
In 2000, boxes of photographs were discovered in a warehouse in Los Angeles. The pictures, which numbered in the thousands, were all taken in the line of duty by LAPD police officers between 1925 and the early 1970s. A selection of 80 are now on display at the city’s Lucie Foundation. This is the face of true noir, shot in glorious black and white.
