THE JACK THE RIPPER LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHS : Dutfield's Yard and the Whitby Collection

[Jeff Leahy]

Bugger I seem to have a miss print. My addition only has some strange geezer with a smug grin on his face standing on the murder spot of Annie Chapman..

Where do i get the original 'Andrex Puppy designer jacket?'

P.S. For those interested Philips lecture on the Dutfield Yard photo is Available on the 2009 Conference DVD price only £15 via Adam Wood.

I have today printed some NTSC copies so if anyone wants them best drop me a line-PM. I'm happy for you to pay once you receive them and checked they play correctly but there are no sleeves as of yet for the USA market. Perhaps an Andrex Puppy?

Suzi - the post at #38 is not Margaret Addison. It's other shots of Marian De Forest (as it should be!)

I'm still waiting to hear back from the Womens' National Hall of Fame and Zonta, the organisation she founded in 1919 that is still going strong.

Have a great Christmas, all!

Oooooops still who needs colour 'eh have a good un xxxx

My copy arrived in time for me to read on Boxing Day. If you hadn't said that some of the photos were supposed to be in colour, Philip, I wouldn't have noticed that anything was wrong. The b&w photos are very crisp and the text is excellent. This is a valuable addition to the literature. Well done.

Good, one Mike! Merry Christmas.

And Merry Christmas to everybody!

Best wishes, Archaic

Sometimes you can't see the Addison's for De Forest!

Hi, everyone; very interesting discussion.

Here's another biographical page on Marian and a photo of her grave.

Addison (a Canadian temperance activist) wrote about taking a Thomas Cook tour similar (if not the same one) to what the Dutfields Yard photographer took. It was interesting to me because it mentions that she and her companions would leave the official tour, wander off on their own, then rejoin days later. And she may have left Europe on her own, departing from a different port than where the Cook group left from. She did not stick to any official itinerary. She was not the Dutfields Yard photographer herself, though she mentions in her book being in the East End, taking photos, buying film for her camera, getting photos developed etc.

Marian De Forest is interesting since the name Miss De Forest appears in a news clipping announcing assorted passengers departing on the vessel for the Cook tour, which the photographer mentions being a part of in Philip's photo album. She travels alone or with a group of women, which was typical of these temperance movement trips like Addison's.

I think there is a good chance that the Dutfield Yard photographer was a part of the same Cook tour that Margaret Addison took. And if she was in the temperance movement, like Addison, then its more than a coincidence that Marian De Forest looks a lot like the photographer and that the NY Times mentions a Miss De Forest departing on the required ship.

Obviously much more research is needed to figure this out.

Well here she is- Margaret Addison
