From Hell Chapter 11 page 17

Commentaire

This page looks like an unassuming collection of talking heads. But it is actually a key page in the From Hell story. With Sir William Gull subdued after finishing his grisly murders, London´s most high-ranking policemen have to clean up his mess and cover the whole thing up. Their solution, discussed in this page, is to find a scapegoat, have him killed and make the death look like a suicide. The chief conspirator here is Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Dr Robert Anderson, a leading Freemason. He convinces the rest of the conspirators to leave the practicalities to the masonic Brotherhood. Assistant Chief Constable Sir Leslie Macnaghten, a non-Mason, is a bit sceptical, while their superior, Metropolitan Police Commissioner James Monro, also a non-Mason, plays along.

I suppose one may say that without the dialogue, this page would not be the same. For us collectors of original art, a strong case for old-style lettering on the original pages.
