1926 Powerful and famous photograph of Sacco and Vanzetti in court and handcuffed to each other, looking directly through the lens of the photographer and into your soul as they pleaded for their innocent lives. Taken just a few months before they would be executed for crimes they did not commit, this is a touching photo by Fotograms and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. The duo was back in court, pleading for their lives one last time when this image was taken. This is their most famous photo ever taken and it is being offered here for the first time ever fresh out of a newspaper archive. Photo has a crease and a corner chip but the quality is far better than the technical grade.
