Clearly Bonnie’s heart sung out love for Clyde, her devotion to him was more than evident and is the real hook to this outlaw legacy. Written accounts show they both enjoyed music and poetry. Bonnie most likely did not take the Majestic Radiola with her when she hit the road with Clyde. The Majestic Radiola was a large cabinet and a fine piece of furniture. The radio was most likely a treasured household item.

The Majestic filled the home with beautiful music and most likely harrowing news in the years to come. The radio received a signal from the outside and transmitted it into the household for all to know and hear. What if the radio had been able to receive a signal from inside the home and then transmit out for all to hear? Could that have changed the story the world now knows of Bonnie and Clyde?

Of course, that is an Orwellian thought and certainly not possible back in those days. However, what if, that radio actually could carry unknown insight on Bonnie and Clyde? What if instead of transmitting radio waves, it actually had been used to hide away a part of the outlaws life with their families?

A photo album wrapped in a newspaper of Bonnie and Clyde’s death was discovered in what might have been this very radio. These are photos, never before seen, that reveal events, locations and additional family history. Some of the photos that show glamour and some show pain. These photos are stark images depicting life without the props and gangster poses.


These pictures take us on a journey back in time. Like a puzzle, the challenge is to determine where they fit in the narrative that has been told over 85 years. A web of discovery relating to the “5 W’s”, who,
what, when, where and why. We may never know all the answers, however, we have some clues that can lead us to some of them.

Determining the authenticity of photographs can be a daunting task even when the images seem obvious. The background or provenance may be only part of the puzzle. The other part involves lots of research to answer the 5 W’s explained above. Online databases, books, documents, and in some cases, interviews are necessary to support conclusions. Even then, without the original people in the photos, a researcher can really only provide an opinion.

I have spent years researching many items for informational purposes or to eventually transfer ownership through private sale or sale. With the 4 years of research I have done for another project of a very well-known outlaw, I have learned that even with provenance, historical records can be very difficult to find, much less decipher.

I have assembled a large collection of research on the photos being offered in this sale. In my opinion, I believe these photographs to be authentic. I believe the subjects to be of Bonnie Parker, Clyde and Buck Barrow and various other family members or acquaintances. How the photographs made their journey to this sale over the past 85 years is only speculation mixed with some fact. I invite you to now to look for yourself and I believe you will find a new perspective of these Iconic outlaws, Bonnie and Clyde.
