Artist Richard C Plaza's take on some original illustrations from 1888 newspapers and magazines - some available only in small size or in poor condition and here revamped for my upcoming novel. With apologies to Tenniel fans..

In the early hours of Friday, 31 August, a Pickford's carman saw a body lying on the pavement of Buck's Row, Whitechapel. In the gloom he did not see the ferocious gashes that had nearly severed her head from her body. He went on his way, looking out for a constable. Meanwhile a policeman on his beat discovered the body and raised the alarm. She was Jack the Ripper's first (canonical) victim - Mary (Polly) Nichols, 43.

30 September 1888. Louis Diemschutz's horse shied as he turned in to Dutfield's Yard,off the Commercial Road in Whitechapel. Diemschutz could not see what had spooked the horse as the yard was pitch black. He probed forward with his whip and found a body, probably drunk or asleep, he thought. He and friends from the International Working Men's Educational Club brought candles and found that she was dead, her throat cut. Canonical Ripper victim number three, Elizabeth Stride. 30 September, Working Man, Pitch, Commercial, Horse, Yard, Bring It On, Illustrations, Candles
