Antique print - Wonderful "Trial-for-Murder Mania" 1895 John Leech
A wonderful illustration by the inimitable John Leech. Leech was one of the Victorian era's foremost illustrators - a favourite in Punch magazine and highly praised for his comic observations on Society and Fashion

A wonderful period illustration showing the "Trial-For-Murder Mania" sweeping Victorian London - The showmaster is dressed in lawyer's wig and chequered trousers, with a dummy "Bullet-Headed" murderer in the dock! The show (trial) is the "Greatest Hit since Courvoisier" where you can "Buy the Murder Monger" with "40 Folio columns of Brutality next Sunday" and rent opera glasses within!!

"All in! All in! Walk up, Ladies! Just a going to begin! None of your shams here, but real bullet-headed murderers! All in! All in! "

Things don't appear to have changed much!! This, of course was the period when Jack The Ripper was hunting the streets of Victorian London - a wonderfully quirky period take on murder and mayhem

Very Good
There is some slight marking caused by fingering of the print Please Note: There is very faint shadowing from the text/pictures on the reverse of the print. This is hardly noticeable and does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
