American gangster Al Capone

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Scarface" Al Capone is shown here at the Chicago Detective bureau following his arrest on a vagrancy charge as Public Enemy No. 1 in this 8 x 10 black & white original wire photograph that has attached the original news bureau caption on verso, dated “2-26-31.” The caption describes his appearance before the Chicago Detective Bureau on vagrancy after a court appearance at the hands of Federal marshals on contempt. Other date stamps and notations refer to the photograph’s subsequent use by the newspaper, including another article attached, dated January 26, 1947 upon Capone’s death. Capone earned the nickname "Scarface" from a bar brawl when he was 18 years old, working as a bartender and bouncer for gangster Frankie Vale. Capone went on to become one of the most ruthless gang leaders ever, whose Chicago operations were routinely disrupted by famous federal agent Eliot Ness (The Untouchables). Comes with a certificate that unconditionally guarantees the authenticity of this item.
