Illustrated panels (akin to some kind of early comic strip precursor) from a 1670 edition of John Reynolds’ "Triumphs of Gods Revenge and the Crying and Execrable Sin of (Wilful and Premeditated) Murther", a book of 17th-century murder tales. Jealousy and incest, sadism and cannibalism, death by poisoning and by lightning bolt, by pistols and by immurement, abound. Every element of Gothic fiction and melodrama seems already present in Reynold’s pages.
