COVER ILLUSTRATION: Vampires in Spitalfields ©Adam Wood
QUOTE FOR JULY: ‘There are some smart people living in the East End of London. A photographer of Mile End-road summoned a customer a fortnight since for the value of a coloured life-size portrait. The subject refused to pay, on the ground that the picture “was not a bit like him,” and the judge sustained the objection and nonsuited the plaintiff. The wily artist is now exhibiting the picture outside his place of business as “Jack the Ripper,” and the unhappy model is going around tearing his hair and rapidly qualifying for a strait waist-coat. It is a cold morning when a Whitechapel photographer gets left.’ The Sunday Chronicle, 10 February 1889
