Attaching deadbolt to an old door with not much space

Moved into a 100 yr old house. I was hoping to install a deadbolt to this old back door. The door it seems is the original front door and was repurposed by the previous owner into back door. All the other doors in the house are glass doors with double cylinder locks. I needed atleast one door with easy exit.

Is there enough space or a technique to install a deadbolt on this door? Attaching images.
