A collection of images from The Graphic's coverage of a series of court cases in which a claimant to the Tichborne baronetcy first attempted to prove he was Roger Tichborne, the heir lost at sea in 1854. He had travelled to London from Australia in 1867, started legal proceedings with 'Tichborne v. Lushington' (1871-2), which he lost because he did not have the tattoos the younger Roger had had, then faced pergury charges in 'Regina v. Castro' (1873-4), and was sentenced to two consecutive terms of seven years' imprisonment. Published as a supplement to the paper in 1874.
