Very rare original broadside, 6 x 12, advertising "Famous Outlaws Clyde Barrow, Terror of the Southwestern and his Gun Moll 'Bonnie' Parker, Modern Tigress, fast shooting, cigar smoking blond Jezebel Meet Death at Gibsland, La." This flier advertises “actual authentic pictures” of this infamous pair shortly after they were killed by lawmen in Louisiana in 1934, touting “See the Texas Cop Killers—Slayers of 10 Men.” Also advertised is a second feature, Beyond the Rio Grande. Center of the broadside has a reproduction of the now-classic photo showing Bonnie with sawed-off shotgun taking a gun from a smiling Clyde's belt; and an original 8 x 8 Bonnie and Clyde wanted poster, issued on May 21, 1934, by the US Department of Justice. Poster features two images of the outlaws and states, in part: “Clyde Champion Barrow and Bonnie Parker constantly travel together and extreme caution must be exercised by arresting officers as they are wanted in connection with assault and murder of officers. Complaint was filed at Dallas, Texas, on May 20, 1933, charging Clyde Champion Barrow and Bonnie Parker with transporting Ford Coupe, Motor No. A-1878100, property of Dr. E.L. Damron of Effingham, Illinois, from Dallas, Texas, to Pawhuska, Oklahoma.” In very good condition, with broadside having a central horizontal fold, uniform toning, and a few edge chips and tears, and light toning to poster from previous framing and display.
