EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Hotel des Ardennes in Brussels, Belgium, where the notorious British criminal Dr. Hawley Crippen and his mistress Ethel Le Neve hid out in 1910, under the assumed identities of Mr. and Master Robinson. The image transports us back in time to an era of intrigue and deception, as Crippen and Le Neve attempted to evade capture following the brutal murder of Crippen's wife, Cora. The tiny bedroom shown in the photograph, where Crippen slept, is a stark contrast to the grandeur of the hotel's exterior. The simple furnishings and cramped quarters add to the sense of clandestine activity that surrounded the pair during their brief stay in Brussels. A small portrait of Captain Henry Kendall, the captain of the SS Montrose on which Mr. and Master Robinson were passengers, can be seen on the wall. This detail adds an intriguing layer to the story, as Crippen and Le Neve's escape route involved a cleverly planned voyage across the North Sea. The Hotel des Ardennes, located in the heart of Brussels, has since been transformed into a museum dedicated to the history of this infamous crime case. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the events that unfolded within its walls over a century ago, and the enduring fascination with the story of Dr. Crippen and Ethel Le Neve.
