Franklin Murders

Rohan Eason channels vintage noir for Adirondack Life.

Commissioned by Adirondack Life to illustrate the chilling true story of the Franklin Murders, Rohan delivers a haunting black-and-white image that feels like it was pulled straight from a 19th-century courtroom archive.

With intricate line work and atmospheric detail, the scene - set outside a rural church, evokes the tension and quiet menace of a brutal crime sparked by horse theft.

Rohan’s composition fuses historical accuracy with a storyteller’s instinct, offering a revival of the forgotten shadows of American history.
