Description

NY Gangsters: Original 1930s AP Photos

Five original 1931 Associated Press photographs, four 10 x 8 and one 11 x 7. Four of the photos show the aftermath of a violent police chase of payroll robbers in New York, with three photos of the bullet-riddled taxi used in the getaway, with the body of one of the robbers lying by the passenger-side door; a slightly larger overhead view of the scene; and one photo of New York police examining the body of a gangster shot execution style along with two others. The back of each photo has an original Associated Press stamp and paper caption sheet, along with a San Francisco Examiner’s stamp dated 1931. In overall very good condition.
