EDITORS COMMENTS
The Attempt to blow up London Bridge with Dynamite on Saturday Last (engraving) captures a chilling moment in history, showcasing the audacious act of terrorism that shook London in 1884. This powerful image, created by William Heysham Overend and now held in a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News. The engraving depicts the dramatic scene where Irish republicans attempted to destroy London Bridge using dynamite during their infamous Fenian Dynamite Campaign. The bridge stands tall and majestic over the River Thames, symbolizing the heart of this great city. Yet, it is under attack from those who sought to bring chaos and destruction. This historical event serves as a reminder of the resilience of Londoners in the face of adversity. It highlights how acts of terrorism can threaten even iconic landmarks but ultimately fail to break the spirit and unity of a community. The artist's attention to detail brings this harrowing incident vividly to life. From the billowing smoke engulfing the bridge's arches to onlookers frozen in fear along its banks, every element contributes to conveying both shock and awe. As we reflect upon this engraving today, let us remember not only those who perpetrated such acts but also those who stood strong against them – reminding us that hope triumphs over terror.
