Original 1932 photograph showing the prison doors of the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia about to shut behind the most famous gangster in American history, Al Capone. Recently nailed on tax evasion charges, this would be the last time he was outside the long arm of the law until he was released a decade later while dying. Issued by Acme and stamped on the back with a full paper caption, this is a rare photo we have never seen before.
