1891 The Maybrick Case A Treatise
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
Illustrated with a frontispiece and three plates.
A detailed study of this murder case, whereby Florence Maybrick was convicted of murdering her cotton merchant husband James Maybrick by poisoning him. The trial was sensational, and the illustrations to this work replicate chemists labels and letters shown during proceedings.
More than a century after his death Maybrick was accused of being Jack the Ripper following the revelation of a diary whereby he confessed. Subsequently this was found to be a hoax. However, one researcher Bruce Robinson believes that Michael Maybrick was the true killer.
This copy is ex-library, with a bookplate to the front pastedown of Hammersmith Public Libraries.
