Was just going to post this on the boards. We received this today:
Hello Casebook,
I'm writing to share images of an installation that was just installed in the Austin branch of our bookstore/gallery.
McCarthyıs Rents
26 Dorset Street #13, Millerıs Court
An installation by Dave Allen recreating the infamous Jack the Ripper murder of Mary Jane Kelly
... Hope you enjoy the photos.

'McCarthy's Rents' art installation
I've found this set on FLICKR.
I've contacted the photographer to find out more about it. This will certainly divide opinion and I can't make up my mind which side of the fence I'm standing on.
On one hand, it could be deeply offensive and on the other, its relative accuracy may be something very worthy of inspection and study.
Views, people?
PHILIP
