| Description | The Whitechapel Murders |
| Details |
'Sketches with the police at the East End'. A series of sketches during the 'Jack the Ripper' murders showing suspects being arrested and on identity parades. In several of the sketches tramps and vagrants are disturbed and questioned by police officers and one 'disputes Sir Charles Warren's right to disrupt him.' Charles Warren was head of the London Metropolitan Police during the time of the Ripper murders, and was probably unfairly criticised for the failure to find the killer.
