I wonder if anyone has pointed out the photographical discrepency between Shirley Harrison's 'Diary of JtR' and Anne Graham/Carol Emmas 'The Last Victim'?
It may be an insignificant detail but the cover of my Diary version (Hyperion: 1993) shows and image of a man who in the reproduced image on page 172a (graphics pages) is named as James Maybrick. This photo is put alongside a police artist's impression to show the similarities.
However, in Graham/Emmas (Headline: 1999) the same photo is shown on graphics page 74d as being the face of Michael Maybrick. It surprises me that two books by people so involved with the Maybrick saga would have such difference. To be honest, to put the actual photo of James Maybrick alongside this one, I believe them to be the same one some years earlier than the other (or very similar looking brothers). Does anyone have access to any other photos of either of them?
*curious*

Michael Maybrick is a very respected composer try putting Michael Maybrick into google and seeing what you get. I have seen the photo I think you are refering to labelled as Michael by doing this. I guess there are others.

Welcome to the world of "Maybrick-as-Ripper" scholarship.
Soon it won't surprise you at all,

Hi, Jane-Ann
We have discussed here before the very problem you observed, that in some of the pro-Maybrick books, an image of Michael Maybrick has been captioned "James Maybrick." I believe in Shirley Harrison's later revised versions of her book, the error was corrected.
All the best
Chris
