'The Old Bailey Map of Criminal London' illustrates some of the most shocking misdemeanors to have been tried at the Central Criminal Court. Presided over by the figure of ‘Justice’ a web of villainy is woven from the mean streets of the capital where famous wrong’uns such as Dr. Crippen, Dick Turpin, and 'The Lambeth Poisoner, are captured alongside everyday tales of forgery, fraud, and felony.
Utilizing the vast resource of 'Old Bailey Online,' this novel pictorial map features the institutions of London's ancient justice system and reinforces the age-old adage that 'crime doesn't pay,' especially in its portrayal of the nastier punishments of old and championing of The Old Bailey's motto: 'Defend The Children Of The Poor & Punish The Wrongdoer.'
