The ‘Swamp Jax’ gang of four. Snapshot. Private Collection.
These bad boys all swagger posing on the side of a road behind a car, with their guns prominently displayed, one just tucked into the pants.

I’m a sucker for beautiful eyes. ;)
Here’s another pretty on a cabinet photo circa 1900. And with the high collar and fat little bowtie. Yes, sir!
