Description

Original glossy 4.75 x 8.5 silver gelatin news service photograph of Al Capone in a half-length and front-facing pose, his glare passing just to the right of the photographer. The reverse bears pencil notations, an Associated Press photo stamp, and a few date stamps, the earliest marked to February 26, 1931. In very good condition, with evenly trimmed edges, a tape-repaired tear to the left edge, a short tear to the right edge, and a few light creases. Encapsulated by PSA as an authentic 'Type I' photograph.




The Marc and Mary Perkins Collection.
