1939 - The last public execution by guillotine in France. They still used it in private till 1977, but no more crowds. As I understand it, the crowd got so rowdy, not in protest, with enthusiasm, they had to move the venue. By then it was light enough to clearly take pictures, and the spectators probably had a little more wine. There are a couple photographs, this the best, and even a dark fuzzy youtube video of the chop. I was surprised, as soon as the blade dropped the body instantly rolled off the side into a box. The dude they chopped was a four time kidnapper/murderer, and offed tourists.
