Best JACK THE RIPPER Whitechapel EAST END Women Murders 1888 London UK NewspaperOffered is an original, collectible newspaper (NOT a copy/reproduction): THE TIMES, London, England, Nov. 20, 1888* Jack the Ripper Whitechapel murders
* Best title to be had (very rare as such)"Jack the Ripper" reports were common in the latter half of 1888, capturing the interest of people on both sides of the Atlantic as evidenced by the reports in many newspapers in the United States. It was the international "sensation" of the era, and a case which was never conclusively solved. Not surprisingly, issues of the respected "Times" newspaper from London are the most sought after, being the primary source for Jack the Ripper reports.Page 10 has a relatively brief article but with a nice heading: "The Whitechapel Murder" which includes: "The funeral of Marie Jeannette Kelly took place yesterday at Leytonstone Cemetery. Several thousand persons had gathered outside Shoreditch Church. Shortly after half-past 12 the coffin was borne from the mortuary...If the public wish to bear any share in the expense they can send their subscriptions to Mr. Wilton at the church. Should there be a surplus a tombstone would be erected." See the photos for the full text.This is the funeral report of Mary Jane Kelly, the last of thefive "generally accepted canonical victims" of Jack the Ripper. Although there were anumber of other alleged Ripper victims, only five had sufficient evidence to conclusively link their deaths to Jack the Ripper.Sixteen pages, great condition.Background: This November 20, 1888 issue of The Times stands as an exceptionally rare and historically significant primary source, containing the contemporary report on the funeral of Mary Jane Kelly—the fifth and final "canonical victim" of Jack the Ripper. Reporting on her November 19 burial at Leytonstone Cemetery and the thousands of onlookers gathered outside Shoreditch Church, this page 10 article titled "The Whitechapel Murder" captures the height of public hysteria during the international sensation that defined Victorian London. Issues of The Times from the autumn of 1888 are particularly prized by collectors and historians because, as the premier paper of record, they offer unedited, real-time insight into the investigation before the case went cold; surviving 16-page complete editions in great condition covering the immediate aftermath of the Ripper's final canonical murder are notoriously scarce and rarely surface on the market.

Links to Archival Storage Options & Certificates of Authenticity Are Below!Historical reports may be beautifulor ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at History's Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Women's Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction.
