Florence Elizabeth Maybrick (nee Chandler, 1862-1941) was an American woman convicted in Great Britain of murdering her husband, James Maybrick. She was born in Mobile, Alabama and met her husband, a wealthy businessman, on board ship whilst travelling to England. They were married soon after - she aged 19 and he 23 years her senior. Maybrick, a hypochondriac who regularly self-administered arsenic and patent medicines, died at home in May 1889 and upon examination was found to have small traces of arsenic in his system. His wife was known to have bought flypaper containing arsenic a month earlier and she was charged with his murder, sent to trial and convicted. After a public outcry her death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and she was eventually released in January 1904 after serving 14 years in custody. This account of her case was published the following December. With 15 photographic illustrations.
