Cartoon commenting on the Jack the Ripper murders.
The Nemesis of Neglect is a cartoon alluding to the social neglect of the Victorian time. Published in Punch the cartoon illustrates a ghostly figure with “crime” on its head roaming the streets of the city with a dagger. The cartoon reveals the fears during the time of the Whitechapel murders and also the issues in the city arising from lack of police vigilance.
