Product Description

Product Description
"The London of Jack the Ripper: Then and Now" is a photographic journey through the London of Jack the Ripper, as it was when he stalked the mean streets and alleyways of the capital. Philip Hutchinson and Robert Clack will take the reader on a step-by-step tour of the crime scenes giving a detailed history of the victims, the crimes and the police investigation. Using many previously unpublished photographs and illustrations, the authors put the reader on the very streets that Jack walked, showing the crime scenes, the victims homes, the common lodging houses and the public houses. They show the readers how to retrace the steps the victims took pointing out the changes to that particular area and when those changes occurred. Using only contemporary documents and police files, the authors trace the history of all eleven Whitechapel murders from 1888 to 1891 and discuss other contemporary attacks that may well have been from the same hand. The book will not only be of interest to Ripperologists, but also to those who are interested in the history of London and the East End of London in particular.

5.0 out of 5 stars An great introduction to a fascinating case, 1 Nov 2007
In what is a very agreeable read, the authors relate this perennially-fascinating story with commendable objectiveness (don't expect any unveiling of celebrity "suspects" or conspiracy theories here) and a tight, yet lucid, style. The "before" and "after" accounts of the East End streets are woven unobtrusively into the text, offering insights into how and where the victims and even the more peripheral figures in the case lived, laughed and died.

The numerous photographs bring home just how much has been lost, and how much remains, of the Ripper's London. Many of these evocative images have never appeared previously in books on this subject, and they complement the words perfectly.

Even without the photographs, this is arguably the best concise telling of the Ripper's story one could buy. As a reader-friendly and eye-catching introduction to the essentials of the Ripper case this book takes some beating. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Pictorial Review!!, 11 April 2008
Never as a book contained such a full pictorial history of the locations from the "Autumn of Terror" Philip Hutchinson's notes on the murders and locations fit perfectly with Robert Clacks excellent photo's!!

Not forgetting the Hanbury Street Pics which show the inside of Number 29!!! Great Stuff guys, well worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars The London of Jack the Ripper , 1 Feb 2009
Jack the Ripper: Now and Then is a wonderful pictorial reference book of an almost lost area of East London. Even though I have known this area of London all my life I still found tucked away gems in this book. Although my novels early Victorian East London are I found the use of old photograph helped me to bring the area to life in the narrative. I would not hesitate in recommending this book to anyone who is has an interest in the East End of London and Whitechapel in particular.
