Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/items/fbi-bonnie-clyde-posed-photograph/

Snapshot published by the FBI under the title "Bonnie and Clyde Horse Around With a Gun": a woman holds a shotgun toward a man in a hat. The FBI identifies them as Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. A copy is stored here.

The FBI's image page titles this photograph "Bonnie and Clyde Horse Around With a Gun (Large)" and captions it: "Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, during their crime spree, playfully pose with guns outdoors for the camera." The image shows a woman in a beret holding a shotgun level toward a man in a hat who holds a pistol at his side. The identification is the FBI's; the page gives no date, place or photographer, and this archive records the photograph as undated.

The picture is a private snapshot, not a Bureau record, and it shows a pose, not an event. The research for this archive filed it as of unresolved rights; it is published here on the owner's decision of 12 October 2026, from a copy captured from the FBI's image page that day. This page quotes the FBI's caption and does not adopt its tone.
