1935 Mugshot portrait photo of Alvin "Creepy" Karpis noted gangster of the Depression era. He had just escaped from custody in Atlantic City by shooting his way to freedom. A rare image that is dated on the back, this presents pretty well with editorial painting and marks around the corners. One of the few vintage originals of this image we have ever seen.
