Who is this "notorious woman"?

[Nemo]

If this site is correct, the style is narrowed down to something called "wide chops"

The sketch is labelled the "latest" photo of the Ripper, and the article mentions that the police are in possession of the detective camera photo and are staying silent about it

I don't think the sketch is the same as the detective camera photo

[Nemo]

The whiskers appear to be classic "mutton chops", apparently quite common in the Nineteenth Century

I think it's probably "Dr McMorrell" or something similar.

Thanks Nemo and Beowulf!
I thought Barnardo was in the bag as he had the whiskers, the suit plus edging, glasses and to top it all the mealy mouth ( I know a mealy mouth is a character trait and not an actual type of mouth but I always imagine a mealy mouther to have severe, thin, pursed lips too. )
And now this Dr Morrell has all the traits too! Drat.

It's a strange set of whiskers isn't it?

It can't be that distinctive otherwise there would be no need for the sketch, you would just have to describe those wild sideburns

Is it a popular fashion does anyone know? - surely there's a website for facial hairstyles of the LVP somewhere

Would someone like to download that pic and make it appear in the thread please?

Thanks in advance

Will the real Jack the Ripper please stand up!

The Dr at the Maybrick trial is definitely older and balder but those national health glasses and the large side whiskers may have been in fashion or something

I'll have a go now Deb - just need to charge my camera up a bit and access Flickr I think

Although I'd agree that the sketch appears to show the piping on Barnado's suit, and therefore is likely to be him, there is another person who looks just like the sketch

You can see him in the photos prior to pg 175 in the Diary of JtR

It's a sketch of people at the Maybrick trial and the person in question is labelled (I think) Dr M Morrel

That's interesting, Nemo. Are you able to post the pic at all?
I thought you meant Dr Morrell McKenzie at first, he had similar whiskers too, though not as bushy and he didn't wear glasses.

DRoy,

How did you get this press report? Do you own it?

No I found it online. As noted in the earlier posts, it has been found a couple of times prior to me! I'm not sure if they have originals or not.

This from The Pittsburgh Dispatch November 2, 1890

I'm not familiar with this story so perhaps someone can shed some light on who this woman may be.

Is this just another wanna-be who has determined who Jack is through no real reasoning or fact finding? Or another journalist in a different land making up a good story?

Does "Jack" look like anyone we know?

Cheers
