October 10, 1888
THE TIMES, London, England, Oct. 10, 1888
* Jack the Ripper original reporting
* Whitechapel murders - England
* Best title to have in
"Jack the Ripper" reports were common in the latter half of 1888, capturing the interest of people on both sides of the Atlantic as evidenced by the reports in many newspapers in the United States. It was the international "sensation" of the era, and a case which was never conclusively solved. Not surprisingly, issues of the respected "Times" newspaper from London are the most sought after, being the primary source for Jack the Ripper reports.
An inside page has a report headed: “The East End Murders” and gives much detail on the breeding and use of bloodhounds for tracking people, noting: “Sir Charles Warren witnessed a private trial of bloodhounds in one of the London parks…the dogs were hunted on a leash, as would be the case if they were employed in Whitechapel…” and more (see photos).
Complete in 16 pages, archival mends across the horizontal fold of each leaf, some minor loss at portions of the fold not affecting the mentioned content, otherwise in nice condition with no fragility or pulpishness.
