  • "The Nemesis of Neglect"
    An illustration from the satirical magazine "Punch" that connects the crime of London's slums to neglect and makes vague references to the Jack the Ripper murders in the East End's Whitechapel district. It also has a caption reading, "There floats a phantom on the slum’s foul air Shaping, to eyes which have the gift of seeing, Into the spectre of that loathly lair. Face it – for vain is fleeing. Red-handed, ruthless, furtive, un-erect, 'Tis murderous crime, the nemesis of neglect."
