Gangsters & Grifters

Classic Crime Photos from the Chicago Tribune Edited by the C h i c a g o T r i b u n e S ta ff Foreword by R i c k Ko g a n

G

angsters & Grifters is a collection of photographs featuring infamous criminals, small-time bandits, pickpockets, hoodlums, wise guys, and shocking crime scenes. These vintage glass-plate and acetate negatives were taken from the early 1900s through the 1950s and went largely unprinted until now.

Included are graphic, raw depictions of violent emotion, captured on film during a time when photographers were given enormous access to work alongside police. Some photographs resemble film noir movie stills. Some are cartoonish. But all feature real people, real drama, and real crimes.

Gangsters & Grifters is a powerful look back at a different criminal era and notorious figures like John Dillinger and Al Capone. A must-have for photography buffs, history lovers, and anyone curious about the seedy underbelly of early 20th-century Chicago.
