• "The Elephant Man" Joseph Merrick
• re. death - descriptive appearance

The back page has a very rare mention of "The Elephant Man" with an article from the "British Medical Journal" and headed: "The 'Elephant Man'" which may be an autopsy report. (see) The article ends with: "There can be no doubt that the weight of the head killed him, as stated at the inquest. The poor fellow was grateful, intelligent and interesting" He died just a few months earlier in London, England. Very hard to find anything related to him in period newspapers.
