William Corder (1803-28), convicted for the 'Red Barn Murder' of 1827. Corder, a fraudster and ladies' man, made a rendezvous with his girlfriend Maria Marten at the barn on the pretext of eloping. Instead he killed her, stuffed her body in a sack and buried her. Corder disappeared but wrote home pretending the two were together, but her body was discovered and a hunt for Corder started. He was discovered, arrested, tried and convicted, and sentenced to be hung and dissected. The hanging attracted a huge crowd; the dissection was performed before an audience of Cambridge students. A battery was connected to his limbs to demostrate muscle contraction; Corder's skin was tanned by the surgeon George Creed and used to bind an account of the murder; and his skeleton was put on display in the Hunterian Museum in the Royal College of Surgeons.

Rare lithograph on india. 160 x 220mm (6¼ x 8¾").
A very atmospheric view of Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. When Byron inherited the estate it had been greatly run-down (on purpose) by Byron's great-uncle, William Byron, 5th Baron Byron, meaning the cost of maintaining it was a constant millstone to the poet. In debt, Byron first attempted to sell Newstead in 1812 but, after several false starts, it was only in 1818 that Wildman bought it. The Abbey is now owned by Nottingham City Council and houses a museum containing Byron memorabilia. In the garden is the memorial to Boatswain, Byron's beloved Newfoundland dog, who died of rabies in 1808, inspiring 'Epitaph to a Dog'
