It would be great IF David Bullock has indeed put his hands on an image of Cutbush. Certainly if I were browsing in a bookshop, I'd expect the face on the cover to be either "The Man Who Would Be Jack," or David Bullock.

I wonder if Bullock used that painting to get people to think it is a picture of Cutbush? There's a b/w version in the book and it's not even captioned. The only mention of it is in the acknowledgements at the back where he says it came from John D Squires. It does seem a bit of overkill using that drawing as it is reproduced three times. On the cover, as a frontispiece and on the back cover.

This pic, presumably of Tracy, looks a bit similar to the young version above :Attached Files

Thanks Debs & Bob !
You may be right Bob...
Debs...the one from Mr. Bullock's bookcover is a little strange, at that.

Rob, Debs, all
Do these two resemble each other ?
The one on the left is Louis Tracy ( I've set up a new thread in The Reporters section)...and Rob has mentioned that the one on the right is said to be Tracy as well.

TP also had the Weekly Sun, but that was 1891 so can't be related either,I did just read that TP was impressed by a piece of louis Tracy's writing in the Weekly Sun and so made him assistant editor of the Sun.

Hi Debs,
I don't think there is a connection. The Sun with the Cutbush articles was set up by T P O'Conner of 'The Star' fame. I think he was still at 'The Star' when the other Sun was going.

My mistake...thanks a lot, Rob, for clearing that up.
Debs...from what I gather, the Sun newspapers I've read were working-class oriented.

Thanks, Rob. And no relation between the two?
In all other online sources, apart from the catalogue entry you showed, it has the Sun starting in 1892 and not 1893...very confusing.
Sorry,How, missed your post. looks like it was different but I wonder if there was a relationship between the two versions? They were both working class newspapers with similar politics from what I can gather. Do you get that impression too?

Yes, perhaps it was Race who started the rumours of a Cutbush relationship. Macnaghten may only have repeated the information without properly investigating the claim if the information was not meant for public consumption.
There were two different 'The Sun' with a few years of each other.
This is the one the Cutbush story appears in:
The Sun.
Newspaper Library :no.1-4113 (27 June 1893 - 11 Oct.1906)
and your one is:
The Sun.
Newspaper Library :no.1-49 (21 April 1889 - 23 March 1890)
Confusing isn't it?
Rob

Debs:
I believe that that is the same Sun which carried the 1894 reports.
I am trying to locate a reference to the date the newspaper first appeared in London...but am having a bit o' problem.
