The Reward of Cruelty


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



The Murder Act of 1751 open the door for Anatomy schools to open doors. These school would dissect the bodies of the criminals with the purpose of furthering their knowledge in Anatomy to develop medicine practices. Anatomy schools sparked the interest of the general public that pay to attend a class. Instructors shortly find out that they could have a personal gain so when the supply was short they turn to body snatching.
