projectb.com has a gallery of striking photos of executions in the mexican revolution of the early 1900s.
The imagery is relatively gruesome, capturing the horror of death by firing squad, so I'll invite you to view the images on the project b site instead of posting them here.
Though the images are remarkable as examples of early photojournalism, they aren't newspaper imagery, but postcards.
Project B explains:
In the early 1900s, Kodak introduced roll film cameras enabling everyone to easily make their own photos; the postcard craze was in full swing; and along the U.S. Mexican border the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution was imminent. In 1910, the bloody battles began and scores of amateur photographers crossed the border to photograph the war and turn their negatives into photo postcards for sale.
So the next time someone tells you "That's as pretty as a postcard", you might want to think back to some of the imagery that postcards used to contain.
