EDITORS COMMENTS
Decades before the advent of credit cards and digital wallets, a notorious gang of pickpockets plagued the bustling streets of Berlin in 1906. In this intriguing historical photograph from the International News-Pictures Ltd. (INP) archive, we witness a scene from their clandestine 'school' where new recruits were taught the old techniques of pickpocketing. The image, dated 7th December 1906, captures a group of young men intently focused on their lessons, as an experienced pickpocket demonstrates a technique to his students. The setting is dimly lit, adding an air of secrecy and intrigue to the scene. The public, oblivious to the illicit activities unfolding around them, go about their business, providing ample opportunities for the pickpockets to practice their craft. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, shedding light on the dark underbelly of urban life in early 20th century Berlin. It serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present threat of crime and the lengths people will go to in order to survive. The techniques taught in this 'school' may be old, but their effectiveness was proven time and time again, making them a valuable commodity for those looking to make a quick profit at the expense of unsuspecting members of the public. This image, from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in criminal history, urban studies, or early 20th century social history. It provides a unique insight into a bygone era and offers a captivating look at the lengths people will go to in order to survive in a rapidly changing world.
