EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the infamous Public Enemy No. 1, John Herbert Dillinger, in 1932. Dillinger, a notorious outlaw during the early 20th century, led a gang of men known as The Dillinger Gang or Terror Gang. Operating between 1933 and 1934, they were responsible for numerous bank robberies, daring prison escapes, and armed robberies that sent shockwaves throughout the country. The image portrays Dillinger with a direct gaze that exudes both confidence and defiance. His rugged features tell tales of his life on the run from law enforcement agencies across the United States. Published by Daily Express in London in 1938 as part of their collection "These Tremendous Years" this sepia-toned portrait showcases the criminal mastermind who became an American legend. Dressed impeccably in thirties-style attire against a studio backdrop, Dillinger's presence commands attention even through this monochrome medium. This photograph serves as a chilling reminder of an era when outlaws like him challenged authority and captivated public imagination. Preserved by The Print Collector29 under their extensive collection, this historic image offers us a glimpse into America's dark past while highlighting one man's audacious exploits that made him Public Enemy No. 1 - forever etched into our collective memory as an emblematic figure of crime during those tumultuous years.
