Description

Photos from Ted Hinton’s collection with a threat of bodily harm if sold

Three modern later generation snapshot-size photos of Clyde Barrow and W. D. Jones originating from the personal collection of posse member Ted Hinton. The first photo measures 3.5 x 5.25 and shows Clyde sitting on the fender of his car, a shotgun and rifle on his lap, and another shotgun on the fender; second photo measures 5.25 x 3.5 and shows Jones leaning on their car along the side of the road; and the third photo measures 3.25 x 5 and shows Barrow and Jones posing together in front of their car. Each photo is hand initialed in the border by Hinton “TH” and has a pasted on label. Accompanying the photos is a 1988 letter of provenance from Clay Garrison of Dallas which states, “The pictures of Bonnie and Clyde that are marked TH were given to me by Ted Hinton a few years before his death. They were copied from his personal collection. He branded them and promiced [sic] severe bodily harm if he ever saw them in the possession of another person.” In fine condition.
