EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of George Sontag, an American train robber who made headlines during the late 19th century. Born in the United States, Sontag's criminal exploits began in the 1880s when he joined a band of train robbers, becoming notorious for his daring heists and cunning escapes. In 1894, Sontag's luck ran out. After a particularly audacious robbery, he was apprehended by the law and sentenced to prison. The photograph was likely taken during his time behind bars, capturing the stoic and defiant expression on his face. Despite his criminal past, Sontag's case gained public sympathy due to the harsh conditions in the prison system at the time. In 1908, after serving over 14 years in prison, Sontag was granted a pardon by the governor of California. His release was met with great fanfare, and he was hailed as a hero by some, while others saw him as a cautionary tale. Regardless of public opinion, Sontag's story is a fascinating glimpse into the American criminal underworld of the late 19th century. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the lines between criminal and folk hero were often blurred. It also serves as a reminder of the complexities of the human condition, as Sontag's story is one of both crime and redemption.
