This atmospheric Type 1 photo captures “Scarface” Al Capone with his lawyer Michael Ahern at the conclusion of one of the days of his 1931 trial. Capone faced a serious lineup of felony charges, though this candid photo shows both lawyer and client in good spirits as the courtroom empties. Capone would eventually go down on tax evasion charges and his crime empire shattered. The Type 1 image measures 8 ½” x 6 ½” and has all four borders. The reverse of the photo has the N.E.A. and Chicago Tribune credit stamps, original caption slug, and numerous hand written notations. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
