Drie afbeeldingen gerelateerd aan een moord bij de Tour de Malakoff before 1890

This anonymous collection of three images, dating from before 1890, provides a glimpse into a true crime case in Paris. The images show the alleged murderer, Marguerite Diblanc, as well as the exterior of the house where the crime took place, the Tour de Malakoff. This collection was likely taken from a book or magazine highlighting crimes of the era, often featuring mugshots of suspects and crime scenes. The small size of the images, 174mm by 105mm, suggests a publication intended for a general audience. The text surrounding the images, in French, details the circumstances of the murder, highlighting the brutal nature of the crime and the subsequent investigation and arrest of Diblanc.
