This striking original gouache was created to illustrate "Leaden Footed Justice in New York State" a feature article published in the Special Feature section of the New York Tribune on Sunday March 1 1914. The penciled caption reads:"Mr. Justice Precedent wearing his famous wig composed entirely of split hairs and adorned with the ceremonial crimson tape." The caricature was a scathing commentary on the notoriously protracted bureaucratically tangled legal proceedings of the Becker-Rosenthal Murder case which centered on NYPD Police Lieutenant Charles Becker who ran a massive protection racket targeting illegal Manhattan casinos. When gambling house owner Herman Rosenthal threatened to expose Becker's corruption to District Attorney Charles S. Whitman Becker hired a gang of underworld executioners including "Gyp the Blood" and "Lefty Louie" to gun Rosenthal down outside the Hotel Metropole. The investigation and subsequent trials completely dominated New York front pages. Becker's first trial began on October 7 1912 resulting in a conviction that was subsequently overturned on appeal by the New York Court of Appeals due to judicial bias. His highly anticipated second trial began on May 6 1914 just over two months after this cartoon appeared. Becker was convicted a second time and after his appeals were exhausted in 1915 went to the electric chair at Sing Sing-marking the first time in U.S. history a police officer was executed for murder. The case profoundly shook the public psyche and entered the cultural lexicon most. unknown

For over a hundred years'the mystery of Jack the Ripper' has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horrorspawning an army of obsessive theoristsand endless volumes purporting finally to reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorised Victorian England. But what if there was never really any 'mystery' at all What if the Ripper was always hiding in plain sightdeliberately leaving a trail of clues to his identity for anyone who cared to lookwhile cynically mocking those who were supposedly attempting to bring him to justice In 'They All Love Jack'the award-winning film director and screenwriter Bruce Robinson exposes the cover-up that enabled one of history's most notorious serial killers to remain at large.More than twelve years in the writingthis is much more than a radical reinterpretation of the Jack the Ripper legendand an enthralling hunt for the killer.A literary high-wire act reminiscent of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompsonit is an expressionistic journey through the cesspools of late-Victorian societya phantasmagoria of highly placed villainshypocrites and institutionalised corruption. Polemicforensic investigationpanoramic portrait of an age underpinned by deep scholarship and delivered in Robinson's inimitably vivid and scabrous prose'They All Love Jack' is an absolutely riveting and unique bookdemolishing the theories of generations of self-appointed experts - the so-called 'Ripperologists' - to make clearat lastwho really did it; and more importantlyhow he managed to get away with it for so long. <br />Please contact seller @ rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.ukbecause of the weight/value of this item for correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

This piece was created to illustrate "Leaden Footed Justice in New York State" an article that appeared in the Special Feature Section of the New York Tribune on Sunday March 1 1914. The caption reads: "Mr. Justice Precedent wearing his famous wig composed entirely of split hairs and adorned with the ceremonial crimson tape." The caption refers to the protracted nature of the Becker-Rosenthal Murder case which began on October 7 1912 restarted on May 2 1914 and finally concluded after a series of procedural events in 1915. The case involved a group of corrupt police offices led by Charles Becker who ran a protection racket on illegal casinos. Becker hired gangsters to kill a casino owner and rival gangster who was threatening to expose the racket. A breathtaking example of police corruption the investigation and trial was front-page news in New York for months. In the end Becker was sent to the electric chair at Sing Sing. This was the first time a police officer received the death penalty. The case lived on for several years in the popular imagination; it is mentioned for example in The Great Gatsby 1925. Robinson the creator of this illustration was a distinguished artist illustrator and cartoonist. A native of Nova Scotia he studied art in Boston and completed his training in Paris at the Academie Colarossi and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts both in Paris. "Mr. Justice Precedent" shows his affinity acquired in Paris for the work of Daumier Forain and Steinlen. Robinson produced work for several newspapers and periodicals. He created "Mr. Justice Precedent" when he was an editorial cartoonist for the Tribune a posit. unknown books
