Hello Packers Stem,

The Police Journal in 1969 saw the first publication of MJK1
In book form, Daniel Farson's "Jack the Ripper" in 1972 before the finder, Donald Rumbelow himself published it in his own book in 1975 "The Complete Jack the Ripper". Thereafter in Stephen Knights book "Jack the Ripper, The Final Solution" in 1976.

Hope this helps. ☺

Wasn't it published in France even earlier.

Or was that MJK3

Many thanks Phil
I'll get Dan Farson's book ordered... Don't mind spending Ł1.30 which is the Amazon price
Seems also that Alexandre lacassagne had it in a book in 1899....cant imagine the quality would be up to much though,reckon the chances of getting my hands on it would be pretty slim also... Unless anyone on here happens to possess a copy?

That's the one I was thinking of Lacassagne, I believe was the first publication.

Catherine Eddowes' mortuary picture is also in the same book.

Hi GUT,

Yes.

I was thinking in terms of relatively available books from the more modern era when I replied.. as it seemed that packers stem wanted to get said book.

I doubt if Lacassagne is available at the local Charity shop. lol :-)

You'd have to be lucky.

Hello packers stem, GUT,

Just as an added note..if you think the 1899 book is rare... try this.



Robert McLaughlin discovered a vey rare and obscure book written by a French medical student named André Lamoureux in 1894 "De l'Éventration au point-de-vue medico-legal"
Inside the book was a single photograph of Mary Jane Kelly. This book therefore preceeds Lacassagne's Vacher l'Eventreur by some five years or so and can be considered the earliest publication containing a printed photo of Mary Jane Kelly.


Robert McLaughlins book, in itself, is pretty hard to get hold of too.

That's where I frst heard of it, McLaughlin. a good friend had that book and his library was promised to me on his death, by the time he died he had remarried and naturally everything went to his wife, she unfortunately disposed of his library and I know not where the book ended up.

Hello GUT,

Try getting hold of an original André Lamoureux 1894 "De l'Éventration au point-de-vue medico-legal"!!!

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and the misfortune over his collection.

Probably the first person I knew who had a library.

It was his wife's prerogative to do with t as she wished (in my opinion) though am sad it wasn't passed on to either myself as he wished or his family, I know his son in law would have treasured it.

There wasn't much ripper related in it, mainly history, photography and theology.
