The Depression was in full swing in the early '30s, and its Grim Reaper’s scythe cut a terrible swathe through Middle America. Farmers lost their fields, and families their homes; the banks would wait only so long before foreclosing.

Many of the antiheroes assumed a Robin Hood persona, and their styles were widely imitated. Here, America’s favorite crime couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, strike a pose.
