EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the dark and mysterious streets of 19th century London. The image depicts a chilling moment from English urban legend, as Spring-Heeled Jack, a devil-like character, mercilessly pushes Mr Grasper from a rooftop. This haunting scene is believed to have taken place around 1850. Spring-Heeled Jack first emerged onto the London scene in 1837, leaving terror in his wake. Described as tall and thin with fiery eyes and menacing claws, he possessed an uncanny ability for making extraordinary leaps that defied human capabilities. This engraving captures the essence of fear surrounding this mythical figure. The Penny Dreadful era was notorious for its sensationalized tales of crime and horror, often featuring characters like Spring-Heeled Jack. These cheap publications provided thrilling entertainment for the masses during a time when folklore and myth held great sway over public imagination. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we witness the tragic fate of Mr Grasper unfold before our eyes. With only three men present on that desolate rooftop, their helplessness is palpable as they watch their companion plummet towards certain doom. This image serves as a reminder of England's rich cultural heritage intertwined with legends that continue to captivate us today. It stands as testament to both the power of storytelling and our enduring fascination with enigmatic figures such as Spring-Heeled Jack - forever etched into history through artistry captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images.
