EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reward poster for the notorious American bank robber, John Dillinger. Created in 1933 during the height of the Public Enemy Era, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the criminal underworld of early 20th century America. John Herbert Dillinger, known as one of the most infamous criminals of his time, was hunted down by law enforcement agencies across the country. His daring heists and audacious escapes made him a legendary figure in organized crime. However, his reign came to an end when he was shot by FBI agents outside Chicago's Biograph Theatre. The mugshot featured on this reward poster captures Dillinger's defiant gaze and serves as a chilling reminder of his criminal activities. The poster itself represents an important part of the judicial system at that time - offering a substantial bounty for anyone who could provide information leading to Dillinger's capture. As we observe this print today, it serves as both a historical document and an intriguing piece of art. It transports us back to an era defined by mobsters and gangsters, where justice was sought through bounties placed on notorious individuals like Dillinger. This photograph is not just about capturing a moment in history; it also symbolizes society's fascination with outlaws and our enduring curiosity about those who operate outside the boundaries of conventional morality.
