Thomas Maria, Arthur Wyatt, and Patrick Dangar (alias Brosnan), c. 1920

The serial numbers of this and the ‘Mug shot of Elsie Hall, Dulcie Morgan, Jean Taylor’ run in sequence, suggesting they were taken on the same day and, judging from the lighting, at the same time of day. None of the names appears in the Police Gazette except for Dangar, which turns out to be an alias for Owen Patrick Brosnan, (also known as Brosnahan, or Brosner), a false pretender and ‘suspected person’. An earlier mug shot of Brosnan shows him to be not the man on the right in this group of three, as inscribed, but rather the offhand individual in the centre, here identified as ‘A Wyatt’.
