1927 Photograph of the illegal liquor cellar in the home of Ruth Snyder in Jamaica, New York. Snyder would ultimately be executed and a newspaper man would sneak a camera into the courthouse snapping what has gone down in history as one of the most famous photographs ever taken! The offered scene here is beautiful with a full paper caption on the back and it really captures the events surrounding the most famous trial of the roaring twenties.
