Description

The controversial final Barrow gang member

Bank robber (1912–1948) who was the final member of Bonnie and Clyde's gang and whose father, Ivan Methvin, helped arrange their deaths at the hands of Frank Hamer. Two original candid 3 x 4 photos of Methvin, one of him standing alongside a dirt road and one of him seated on a short wall. In very good condition, with scattered creases and rippling, some crazing to emulsion, and some light silvering to darker areas. These family owned photos passed from Clyde’s sister, Marie Barrow, to her son who put them up for auction after her passing in 1999.
