Famous Victorians

[Ryan_Miller]

Thought that you guys might appreciate this... I came across a website with historical vitorian figures recreated in wax (I Believe) Prince Albert Victor, and our very own Jacky Boy are immortalized. Who would have thought that Jack was actually a grey skinned sherlock holmes imitator?

Definitely the least lifelike figure in the collection, and what's up with the funny way in which he's gripping the knife? Otherwise though, I don't know about the gray skin, but with more than one witness describing a man in a dark overcoat and a deerstalker or peaked cap, I've always thought of Jack as resembling a shabby version of Sherlock Holmes.

I don't know where they got the description of Jack to use for the model. I'll have to see if I can find a witness description of"

"a grey skinned-man, with glowing red eyes, dressed in sherlock holmes imitation clothes. He fled the scene holding his knife gingerly."
