29th November 1827, The resurrection men Burke and Hare sell their first body, (a man who had lodged in Hare's house; and had died of natural causes), to the anatomist Dr. Knox of Edinburgh University. The success of this first sale would lead down darker avenues in the sourcing of seliable bodies. Shown is the Burke and Hare card from the historically inspired ofgraveconcern Industrial Sublime Tarot, an original tarot deck featuring events and characters from the years 1760 - 1848.
