There was a query on another thread about the Illustrated Police News (IPN) and I recently found a list I had done some time back listing all the cover illustrations of the IPN relating to the Whitechapel murders and thought this might be worth posting.
Please note this list only covers 1888 and does not include later murders i.e. McKenzie and Coles
Hope it's of interest
