Description

Graphic set of three vintage glossy 5 x 7 coroner photographs of the deceased bodies of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Two of the photos show Parker—one a close-up and the other of her partially nude body from the right side—with eyes closed and face covered in blood, a bullet hole to the left of her mouth. The lone Barrow photo depicts him with eyes slightly open, lower right ear missing, and right shoulder and face plashed with blood. In overall fine condition. On May 23, 1934, Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed by a posse of six police officers while driving on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. The parish coroner Dr. J. L. Wade's 1934 report listed 17 separate entrance wounds on Barrow's body and 26 on that of Parker's.
