Lucky Luciano by Slim Aarons

Slim Aarons (1916 - 2006) crossed paths with celebrities, royalty, and the who's who of society including famed Sicilian born American gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano (1897 - 1962). Luciano's criminal enterprise included gambling, narcotics-peddling, prostitution, extortion, and a bevy of other vice dens bilking millions of dollars a year from customers. Aarons captured the mobster several times over the course of his career including exclusive image of the gangster with family and friends during his exile from the United States by the FBI, which was granted for his assistance in protecting the docks in New York City during the second World War.

Silver gelatin prints are the quality standard for black and white film photographs and display a uniquely identifiable "gelatin" finish in which silver halide crystals are suspended. Read more about silver gelatin prints.
