G-man, Melvin Purvis, was one of America's most admired men in 1935. The FBI agent, responsible for taking down some of the countries most notorious public enemies, captured a record number of crooks including Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson and John Dillinger. This is a superior quality, vintage (1936) studio portrait of Purvis. The mint photo, from the archives of the San Francisco Examiner, measures 8x10".
