Ronnie Biggs was a member of the gang that carried out the Great Train Robbery of 1963. A Heinz 57 Varieties ketchup bottle bearing Biggs’ fingerprints was found in the farm where the gang hid immediately after the robbery. It became an evidential exhibit during his trial. This work is a 1960s’ ketchup bottle, etched with copies of Ronnie Biggs’ fingerprints.
