Snapshots: Inside Guilford's jail

The News & Record has two main resources for old photos: A closet full of negatives and filing cabinets that hold mostly black-and-white prints. They are a gold mine for the historical, comical and just plain unusual moments in Greensboro’s history.

Each weekday in August, I’ll share a snap from the vault. There’s no rhyme or reason to the selections — they’re just photos that caught my eye. If you know more about what’s pictured, please share the details in the comments or e-mail me at michael.grossman@news-record.com.

I like the big ol' thumbprint along the right border of the photo.

These days it seems you don't hear too much about the photo handling anymore.

I've needed to erase lots of bright red crop marks from most of the photos (another thing of the past), but couldn't eliminate the fingerprint.
