1934 Vintage portrait photograph of the most famous gangster of the era, John Dillinger. "Public Enemy Number One" is seen here in a classic portrait photo from his capture in Tucson that has been reproduced a million times with this being a rare vintage original! Photo is mostly crease free but it has some editorial markings from artistic enhancements at a newspaper, but the fact this is one of the few vintage examples known in the hobby more than makes up for this! Stamped on the back by the International News and dated 1934, this is an important "vintage 1"!
