Large and interesting collection of photographs from Blanche Barrow’s personal photo albums. Ninety-nine photos are included, mostly snapshots, of various sizes up to 3.25 x 5, some clipped for application into scrapbooks. Many of the photos have been notated on the front or back by Barrow, adding her name or initials to some of the photos as well. Some of the photos are from Barrow’s time in the Missouri State Penitentiary and include photos of her along with other inmates, many of whom she identifies. Other photos include family and friends, including her father, several photos of Blanche with her second husband Buck Barrow, a couple of photos of Buck alone, and one posed photo of Buck and his friend Bill staging a mock robbery complete with firearms. Some of the photos are affixed to larger scrapbook pages. Also included is a Christmas card to Blanche from her father during her time in prison, as well as Barrow’s two ring binder, signed on the inside front cover, “Mrs. Blanche Barrow,” as well as her other names, “Miss Iva Caldwell,” “Mrs. Iva Callaway,” and “Miss Bennie Caldwell.” In overall very good condition.
