visual reference: Bonnie & Clyde

[truepenny]

(Okay, yes, apparently I need a Bonnie-and-Clyde tag. Gibsland, Louisiana, is approximately where they died (unless it's Sailes), and that's the only point in their careers when you can really pin them down to a location.)

• Clyde Barrow's mugshot.
  
• Clyde lifts Bonnie in one arm (Clyde was 5'5", Bonnie was 4'10".)
  
• Bonnie pretends to be menacing Clyde (here's Dunaway and Beatty re-enacting the same pose)
  
• Clyde poses with a V-8 Ford, his vehicle of choice, and some of his many weapons
  
• Bonnie poses with the V-8 Ford
  
• another shot of each
  
• Clyde poses with a road sign he shot himself
  
• Bonnie pretends to be a cigar-smoking, gun-toting moll (she did not smoke cigars, and whether she actually used any of Clyde's many guns is apparently a matter of some controversy)
  
• Bonnie and Clyde
  
• Post-mortem photographs.
  
• And a deeply creepy group shot (I presume the men behind the corpses are some of the posse who killed them.)
  
• the car they died in
  
• It's now in Las Vegas (another angle)--and is more shot up than the car in which the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated
  
• Clyde's gravestone (he's buried with his brother Buck, who died--essentially--because he couldn't say no to Clyde)
  
• Bonnie's gravestone, with its stunningly inappropriate doggerel (Bonnie and Clyde were not buried together, at the insistence of Bonnie's mother.)
  

For further browsing, there's the Barrow Gang Collection at the Portal to Texas History. (This picture of the site of the Grapevine shootings is beyond fabulous.) Also, the FBI has put nearly 1,000 pages of material from their investigations online.
