1920's Artistic photograph of the newest and most impressive form of execution sweeping the nation, the Electric Chair. While not listed as to the prison this was found in, it is from a New York based newspaper archive so it is likely from one of their prisons. A powerful work of imagery, this is a work of art that could be hanging in a museum or gallery. The photo is in pretty nice shape with note to some light creasing from news-room storage and editorial use.
