Large 1929 vintage photograph from inside the auto repair shop on North Clark Street in Chicago showing the dead members of the Moran gang after being gunned down by members of the Capone gang. A spectacular event that would go down in history as the "St. Valentines Day Massacre." A large vintage original in nice shape overall, this is one of the rarest and most desirable images from the gangster era out there and this is as good as they get! Produced off the original negative by the United Press around 1960, which was only 31 years after the original event took place and presenting here as a 60 year old specimen of the famous event! Photo has a crease on the lower left but otherwise it is nearly perfect.
