Scarce pair of engravings, sheet 130 x 275mm (5¼ x 10¾"). Trimmed and glued to album sheet. Creases from where previously folded.
Three-quarter seated portrait of Frederick George Manning (d.1849) and seated bust portrait of Maria Manning (nee de Roux c.1821–49). They were hanged on the roof of London’s Horsemonger Lane Gaol on 13 November 1849, after she and her husband were convicted of murdering her lover, Patrick O’Connor, in the case that became known as the ''Bermondsey Horror.'' It marked the first execution of a husband and wife together in England since 1700. Charles Dickens (1812-70) witnessed the public execution and condemned the behavior of the crowd in a letter to 'The Times' that same day. He later drew on Maria’s life when creating the character of Mademoiselle Hortense, Lady Dedlock’s maid in Bleak House.
