Overview
Look back on the trial and execution of Jack Sheppard in 1724 and reflect on the ways Jack's story highlights the public display of state power and the nature of public life in 18th-century London. Somewhat of a folk hero, Jack Sheppard still met an ignominious end that sheds light on the drastic disparities between the haves and the have-nots of London's past.
