EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two girls led a gang of evildoers in the assault on a New York bank" by Achille Beltrame showcases a remarkable moment in female delinquency. In this color lithograph, two audacious young women take charge as they lead their gang in an audacious attack on a New York bank. With flattened revolvers, these bandits clad in skirts manage to immobilize both the counter staff and the public, while their accomplices search for valuable loot within the safes. The daring heist does not end there; after successfully executing this unprecedented crime, the gang swiftly escapes by car only to strike again using the same method at another bank within the city. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on June 22nd, 1930, capturing widespread attention and fascination. Beltrame's artwork vividly portrays this extraordinary event that defied societal expectations of female criminality during that time period. The image depicts intense moments filled with suspense as innocent individuals are forced to surrender under threat from these fearless robbers. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of how criminal activities can transcend gender stereotypes and highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness displayed by criminals throughout history. It also sheds light on society's response to such crimes and its impact on law enforcement practices moving forward.
