Summary

Description
English: Photograph of the Madame Tussauds wax sculpture of Kate Webster, murderer of Julia Martha Thomas, which was created a few weeks after her arrest in 1879 and was put on display alongside wax sculptures of other notorious killers of the period.
The file contains an image of the (1) wax sculpture, of which a (2) photograph was taken between 1879 and 1925, which (3) photograph was printed on a page of a book published in 1925, which (4) book was digitized with a digital camera in 2020 creating a set of JP2 files, and from which set (5) the file with the image was edited in Gimp to crop, rotate, perspective-correct, and totally balance it, after which it was exported to JPEG.
The author of (2) is unknown, as the book does not credit the author; the uploader of this file sought additional information about the original (2) photograph online and could not find any.
The metadata pertains to (4) and to a small degree (5) (change date and time and software used).
