Once again. the photography village called Photoville has set up shop in Brooklyn Bridge Park. There is a lot to see, including some vintage police mug shots never seen by the public.  Roger Clark filed the following report.

A photo shows a woman arrested in 1910. Her NYPD mug shot explains she was charged with Disorderly House. It's not what you think.

"It's prostitution," says Michael Lorenzini, curator of photography at NYC Municipal Archive. "It's running a brothel. And it's a name that probably been on the books for a very long time."

It's part of an exhibit called "Pretty Girl Charged with Clever Swindle," a collection of vintage police mugshots from the city's Municipal Archive.

The exhibit is not in a gallery - it's in a shipping container, part of this year's Photoville festival in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The exhibit includes a woman arrested in 1908 on a charge called Fagin, as in the Oliver Twist character who trains kids to steal.

The exhibit's focus on women helped curator Quinn Berkman to narrow her choices from the city's mugshot collection.   

"Woman are kind of under-represented in the collection," Berkman says. "I think they only make up about five percent of the total criminals that we have. Most of them are men."

It's one of more than 50 containers at Photoville, in its fifth year at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

The displays range from the photos of legendary street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, to younger photographers from the Bronx Documentary Center - spotlighting workers on Jerome Avenue, a fly ball away from Yankee Stadium. 

"It's a great opportunity because we brought the Bronx here to Brooklyn, and I think that's a great thing for the Bronx," says Jesus Emmanuel of Bronx Documentary Center.

The folks that curate the individual exhibits inside these containers say it can be a challenge to display art in this type of space. But it's a challenge that they welcome.

Photoville welcomes photography lovers to soak it all up, a contrast from looking at pictures on your phone or computer screen.

"Bam. When it's up on the side of a container, you stop, you notice," says Dave Shelley of United Photo Industries.

And these mugshots certainly make you want to learn more about the women behind them, and the crimes they committed.

You can see all of the photos through Sunday. Find out more at photoville.com.
