’The Jewish Type’ (1924) by Francis Galton. Studies of subjugated portraiture in photography. 

Galton tried to generalize distinct groups of types (e.g. murderers from criminals) and create what he called ‘composite images’ by combining several portraits into one, which had the power of showing the typical physical features of a group.

He is known for his ideas of eugenics*. Galton believed that improvement of society was possible by ‘sup-planting the human stock by better strains’.

*Science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race
