The public Exhibition of the Body of Williams.
The public Exhibition of the Body of Williams.
[Anon, c.1811.]
Stipple, sheet 105 x 160mm (4 x 6¼"). Trimmed around image and title.
The body of John Williams, the principal suspect in the 'Ratcliff Highway Murders', a series of murders in East London in December 1811. Williams was arrested and imprisoned but before the case went to trial he used his scarf to hang himself in his cell at Coldbath Fields. The court declared Williams guilty of the crimes, taking his suicide as an admission of his guilt. Following this decision, Williams' corpse was paraded through the streets of East London, past the locations of the murders, in a procession supposedly seen by 180,000 people. Thomas De Quincey witnessed the event and wrote of it: 'When the cart came opposite the late Mr Marr's [one of the victims] house a halt was made for nearly a quarter of an hour. ... The procession then advanced to St George's Turnpike, where the New Road [now Commercial Road] is intersected by Cannon Street Road. Those who accompanied the procession arrived at a grave already dug six feet down. The remains of John Williams were tumbled out of the cart and lowered into this hole, and then someone hammered a stake through his heart.'

John Williams [1796 – 1839], missionary active in the South Pacific until he was killed and eaten on Erromango in the Vanutu archipelago. George Baxter (1804 - 1867) is regarded as the 'Inventor' of colour printing. The Baxter process, which he patented in 1835, involved an initial metal keyplate and up to 20 wood or metal blocks to apply each individual colour. Baxter had published quite a few prints of Williams including his murder on the island of Erromanga a few days after landing.

George Wilson (1766-1839), known as the 'Blackheath Pedestrian' for his attempt to walk a thousand miles around the heath in 20 days for a prize of £100. He failed because the authorities charged him with disturbing the peace because of the crowds that followed him. Although he was acquitted his arrest made the feat impossible, so he lost the prize, but a collection at the London Stock Exchange matched the £100 within two hours.
