1880’s cdv of Herman Webster Mudgett. Published by D P Groves of Ann Arbor. Dr Mudgett attended med school during the dark days of learning. Grave robbing was a big fear of the US public. One of late great get rich schemes of the time were grave alarms. Colleges and Universities were entering a new realm of learning in the 19th century. Disection of deceased humans was at the forefront of the advancement of medical technology. There were also laws making it difficult for institutions to furnish the proper learning examples. That’s where guys like Mudgett came in. Mudgett practices of supplying institutions with what they were looking for was learned from the culture of the time. There is a question of was the monster already there or created by that culture. At any rate Mudgett took his learned practices to the level of insurance fraud after his graduation. Mudgett opened a hotel in Chicago for the World’s Fair knowing he had an endless supply of insurance policies he could cash in on. That was Mudgett demise. The good doctor collected over a quarter million dollars in life insurance policies in a year before the insurance company decided to hire a private investigator. Wasn’t hard for them to figure out what Mudgett was up to. Mudgett was executed shortly after his arrest. There are several documentaries on Dr H H Holmes aka Herman Webster Mudgett. There is an eerie message written on the back of the cdv. “He is OK.” Student? Teacher? About 2 by 4 inch in size. Stains, toning and wear. Feel free to ask questions. I was told I would be sent a contract on this one. Site backed out. Guy sent some weak facial recognition of an older Mudgett with his face facing straight. He says “the ears are a different size.” I asked if he or his “expert” compared the known U of M image to the face forward image and come to the same conclusion. If you do facial recognition, I can accept if you can’t get to where I’m at identity wise. If you got no clue, I got no time for you anyways. I urge people to learn facial recognition if you deal or collect images of people. I don’t need you to share your shortcomings with me. If you can’t get there, move along. This isn’t show and tell. Serious customers only. I would consider this listing a perfect resume for applying for a job in law enforcement. If there are any agencies that can see the value in my work, man am I hungry. Hit me up. Sorry I forgot to add the scan of the back. It’s been added. If anyone does the leg work on the initialed “He is ok” message, please share the info. It’s either “ASR” or “HSR.” The cdv is hand dated 2/1/1884 in the bottom left corner on the back.
