1934 Two-part portrait photograph of noted gangster Baby Face Nelson which was actually his mug-shot taken by the police. It was announced on the paper label that Nelson was to be shot on site after he gunned down two Federal Agents in Illinois. One of the only original images of Nelson in any form we have offered and the quality of this silver gelatin image is quite nice with note to some scratches on the image to the left and a few light creases.
