Description
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a black-and-white portrait taken by a Fort Worth photographer in 1900 has become priceless. It marked the beginning of the end of a long run for the five outlaws, directly leading to their downfall.
Retouched and cleaned up the entire image. Breathed new life into this image of the Wild Bunch.
The legend goes like this: A few months after the successful robbery of a bank in Nevada, the “Fort Worth Five” gang—Robert LeRoy Parker (Butch Cassidy), Harry Longabaugh (the Sundance Kid), Harvey Logan, Will Carver and Ben Kilpatrick—arrived at the gallery and studio of John Swartz located at 705 1/2 Main Street, not far from their home base in Fort Worth's Hell’s Half-Acre. Speculation continues about why the five men were dressed in their best; whatever the occasion, they decided to have their photo taken in their finest formal attire. Apparently satisfied, each gang member ordered 6.5 x 8.5-inch prints to be picked up a week later.
