Original – A caricature of Wang Lianying, a courtesan who was murdered for her jewellery in 1920; this illustration, prepared by Jefferson Machamer, accompanied coverage of the trial in New York Tribune
Reason
High quality scan of a piece of newspaper art. The murder of Wang Lianying, a famed courtesan, captured imaginations in Shanghai, and the case was even reported in the international press. This image, which accompanied coverage of the trial in the New York Tribune, illustrates that international coverage; it also provides an early example of artwork by Jefferson Machamer, who developed a reputation for depicting glamourous women.
