Here is a reprint of the very rare classic true-crime paper from 1902: Famous Crimes Past and Present.
It has 24 pages, is black and white throughout, and is comb bound with a card back and a plastic front cover.
This one is number 6 and the cover features Charles Peace on the scaffold.
The first six pages deal with Charles Peace. Prior to Jack the Ripper, Peace was the most notorious villain of the Victorian period. These pages show Peace as he awaits his execution with excellent illustrations.
Three pages are given on poisoning with mercury, featuring Dr Smethurst, and an astonishing mention of feeding on corpses.
Two pages are given to “The Resurrectionists”, the name given to people who dug up the recently dead to sell the bodies to anatomists and doctors. There is mention of Burke and Hare (see my other eBay sales), Guy’s Hospital, and others. A haunting illustration shows the Resurrectionists at work.
Four pages are devoted to the mystery of Louise Masset, the first person to be hanged in 20th Century Britain, for the murder of her child.
Over two pages are given to an article “In Times of Torture”, which shows the history of torture instruments from the “Catherine’s Wheel” and red hot pincer, to the iron chair. For each there appears a line drawing and an explanation of its use.
One page is given on the "Tragedy of Ireland's Eye", a murder on a small island off Ireland's coast.
After a short article on executions in Rome, three pages are given on Sarah Dazley, whom Famous Crimes terms “the female Blue Beard”; she poisoned her husbands.
Following this, there is an article on Allan Mair who murdered his wife and was sent to the gallows at the age of 84. The public execution shows a masked executioner, a priest, a policeman and a doctor, with a crowd of onlookers. Mair’s final moments were not particularly pleasant as he struggled with the noose around his neck.
The back page takes a less tabloid approach and a view from a moral high ground: An essay on Criminal Problems – Environment a cause of crime?
Famous Crimes was a penny journal. It was published from 1902 and became an instant hit with its sensational journalism and gruesome illustrations. The illustrations really are superb.
Please see my other sales for other Famous Crimes including Guy Fawkes and Burke and Hare.
