On the
Cover
A typical pub scene in the late 19th Century from an
engraving by John Leech.
Is that Mrs Ringer
behind the bar at the Britannia? Or perhaps Mrs Fiddymont at the Albert?
It is plain, from the black eye on the lady to the right, that Liz Stride was not the only woman
in Spitaifields to be batteredl And is it gin the woman is feeding her baby to hasten sleep?
The children
are probably tasting beer sent for by their
father, though this practice
was outlawed in 1901 by the 'Child Messenger
Act' which prohibited sales
of
uncorked or sealed alcohol to any children under the age of 14.
