[Capital Punishment] Six Photographs of the Gas Chamber at Maryland Penitentiary. Six vintage snapshots (5 x 4?) on Kodak paper depicting the interior and exterior of the execution chamber at the prison in Baltimore, including the restraint chair and the lever which would drop sodium cyanide into a bowl of sulfuric acid, a mixture creating a lethal vapor. Ink notations to versos. Scrapbook paper remnants, otherwise fine.
