The Real Mary Kelly
'IT IS AN INCREDIBLE CLAIM BUT WESTON-DAVIES PRESENTS A COMPELLING CASE.' EXPRESS In this thrilling book, Wynne Weston-Davies, qualified surgeon and Mary Kelly's great-nephew, delves into the inscrutable history behind Jack the Ripper's fifth and final victim. Exploring the family connection and her journey from Wales to the East End of London, he reveals how the elusive Mary Kelly became wholly intertwined with the enigma of her legendary killer. An utterly original investigation into how a vivacious party girl came to marry a mild-mannered journalist, some twenty years her senior, and ended up the last but most significant victim of his gruesome, twelve-week killing spree.
Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England
First published in 1980, Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England is a detailed and comprehensive survey of the steel engravings that were so popular in the nineteenth century. With an extensive range of illustrations, the book refutes the assumption that steel engravings are of little artistic value or importance, a common attitude rooted largely in the connection between steel engravings and mass-produced books. Beginning with an exploration of the identification problems and early history of steel engravings, it moves through the production and printing of the plates and on to a study of several engravers and artists, as well as of the books themselves. Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England will appeal to anyone interested in the history of printing and illustration.
