Description
Jack the Ripper postcard from Oct 1888
You will receive a reproduction of this postcard.
This POSTCARD (See PHOTO'S) was received on October 1st, 1888 at the Central News Agency. The handwriting is similar to that of the "Dear Boss" letter, and makes direct reference to both this letter and the murders of the previous night. Those who believe it to be genuine argue that the removal of Eddowes's ear (it was not taken away, nor mailed to the police) and the fact that the postcard mentions the double-event before it was described by the press both testify to its authenticity. Others believe a hoaxer could have gleaned details of both the previous letter and the murders in an early morning paper of October 1st
Envoyé par Copilot :
The Saucy Jacky” postcard, one of the many pieces of correspondence attributed to Jack the Ripper.
The “Saucy Jacky” Postcard
- Date and Origin: The postcard was postmarked and received by the Central News Agency in London on October 1, 1888.
- Content: Written in red ink, the postcard mentioned the murders of Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes, which occurred on September 30, 1888. The author claimed to have been responsible for these murders and signed off as "Jack the Ripper"1. The text read:
I was not codding dear old Boss when I gave you the tip, you'll hear about Saucy Jacky's work tomorrow double event this time number one squealed a bit couldn't finish straight off. Had not time to get ears off for police thanks for keeping last letter back till I got to work again. Jack the Ripper - Appearance: Both sides of the postcard were smeared with what appeared to be blood, and the address side bore traces of finger or thumb prints.
- Significance: This postcard is significant because it was one of the first to use the name “Jack the Ripper” after the “Dear Boss” letter. It also contained details about the murders that were not widely known at the time, which led some to believe it could be genuine.
- Reception and Publication: The postcard was published in the press shortly after it was received, in hopes that someone might recognize the handwriting. However, the authenticity of the postcard, like many other pieces of Ripper correspondence, remains debated. Some believe it was a hoax, possibly written by a journalist to keep the story alive.

Wee Gee 35 mm crime scene photograph murder in Hell’s Kitchen 1940
Weegee–real name Arthur Fellig–was New York City’s finest crime photographer, with his photos of fires, dead bodies and other city mayhem worthy of any tabloid. Listening to his police scanner, Weegee would sit and wait patiently every night for the seedy side of New York City to show her grizzly face before beating the police to the scene of the crime in order to snap a shot.
