    Facsimile

    Does anyone know how the facsimiles of the Ripper letters etc were produced? Were they photographs or did someone copy them by hand?

    My guess would be that they used a pantograph or similar to make a gelatine plate for use in hectagraphy to make the posters.

    I think that there is more information in the letters and communications section.

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
