Emma Parker Photo

Vintage 1934, 6 x 7.5, gelatin silver ACME Newspictures photograph of Bonnie Parker’s mother Emma, her face buried in a handkerchief, being escorted from the Dallas, Texas, funeral parlor where services were conducted for Bonnie. The back has the original ACME Newspictures stamp and paper caption tag dated 5-25-1934. The caption reads, in part: “Mrs. Emma Parker, mother of Bonnie, who was slain with Clyde Barrow…and the mother of Billie, who is under arrest in Fort Worth, Texas charged in the wanton killing of two policemen allegedly shot by her…leaving the funeral parlor…where services were held for Bonnie.” In very good condition, with trimmed edges, a few spots to finish, and some scattered light surface marks.
