This map shows the date of discovery and location of the bodies of the five "Canonical" victims of Jack the Ripper - Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Edowes, Mary Kelly, and two other possible victims, Emma Smith and Martha Tabram. It also points out the notorious area of East End Common Lodging Houses west and east of Commercial Street where they lived, as well as the street where the "Message On The Wall" was found.

The map is derived from an atlas of London & Suburbs, published in 1888, original scale 4 inches to the mile. It shows names of most roads, alleys, courts, lanes, stations, public buildings, factories, etc., and covers the area from Bishopsgate Station in the north west, to Charrington's Brewery on Mile End Road in the north east, and from Custom House in the south west to Shadwell High Street in the south east.

The murders committed by Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel, London in 1888 were a series of gruesome and brutal killings that shook the city to its core. Over the course of a few months, at least five women were brutally murdered and mutilated in the Whitechapel district, with the killer never being identified or caught.

The first victim was Mary Ann Nichols, who was found dead on the morning of August 31, 1888, in Buck's Row. Her throat had been slashed twice, and her abdomen had been mutilated with deep, jagged cuts. This was followed by the murders of Annie Chapman on September 8, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes on September 30, and Mary Jane Kelly on November 9. All the women were prostitutes, and their bodies were discovered in public places, with their throats slit and their bodies mutilated.

The killings received widespread media attention, with newspapers publishing sensationalized accounts of the murders and speculating on the identity of the killer. The killer came to be known as "Jack the Ripper," a name coined by a letter supposedly sent to the police by the killer himself.

Despite extensive investigations and numerous suspects, the killer was never identified or caught. The case remains unsolved to this day, and the identity of Jack the Ripper remains a mystery. The murders have had a lasting impact on popular culture and have become a subject of fascination and speculation, with numerous books, movies, and TV shows exploring the case and its legacy.
