roll presses

 

Although idle, the presses at the Joplin Globe newspaper were impressive.  The line of six presses was visible through the large street-level windows across from the Red Onion where we had dinner. The first issue of The Globe was published on August 9, 1896. In 1933 The Joplin Globe had a country-wide scoop, obtaining the camera left behind by Bonnie and Clyde after a deadly confrontation with local police, developing and publishing the rolls of film in it, including the now-legendary photos of Bonnie holding Clyde at mock gunpoint and of Bonnie with her foot on a fender, pistol in her hand, and cigar in her mouth
