  • A question

    Having read through many of the newspaper articles written at the time of the murders and had a look at the photos in the archive section, i was wondering when the newspapers themselves actually had photos in them rather than the artists illustrations we see so often with the ripper case ? did certain newspapers of the day actually print photos or did they all just employ artists ?

    thanks

    It appears that photos in newspapers were not viable until 1897

      thanks stephen. the casebook itself has hundreds of articles from the various papers of the time, i was wondering whether any of them actually printed any photographs later of the sites which may as yet be unknown to ourselves. I imagine there was still a fascination with the crimes in the years after so would it be out of the realms of possibilty that a photograph was printed in a paper years later that we dont know of ?

      Some of those newspapers are no longer in existence, where would one start to look ?

        if the papers were anything like today, surely they would do the usual 10 year, 25 years revisit of the event ? a la kennedy, Diana etc...should anything be able to be sourced, then at least we could keep the likely amount of papers to be searched down to a realistic level !!

          Newspaper Archive

          Hello Jason. Some of the old defunct newspapers are available online through Newspaper Archive. Their rates are VERY affordable--about a pound per month.

          Good luck!

          Cheers.
