A Flattering Etching Of Mrs. Pearcey At Her Trial

[Howard Brown]

Beats the hell out of the standard depiction of the woman....the one that makes her look like the Wicked Witch of The West. I think she looks attractive in this one.

She was quite a good looking woman. It's the ghastly Madame Tussauds waxwork people remember her by.

[Howard Brown]

Thanks for that, Rob.....I recall you mentioning something years ago about how the woman didn't resemble the Tussaud's waxwork.

[Rbaynton]

Thanks. I have often wondered what she really was like. Looks quite mild and inoffensive ......

[Anna Morris]

She was described as beautiful but I could never imagine the real woman. She should have been sent to Broadmoor because I think she was at least temporarily insane.
