EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dynamite Outrages at the West End of London (engraving) captures a chilling scene from 19th century London, depicting the aftermath of a Fenian dynamite campaign. This powerful engraving, created by an unknown English artist and now held in a private collection, was originally published in The Graphic on June 7,1884. The image showcases the devastating impact of terrorism as it unfolds in the heart of the city. The focal point is the Rising Sun public house, which has been reduced to rubble by a violent explosion. Carriages lie overturned and damaged nearby, while smoke billows into the sky. Intriguingly, this engraving also offers glimpses into other significant locations affected by these outrages. Great Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department offices are shown amidst chaos and destruction. The Junior Carlton Club stands partially damaged as well. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of the turbulent times marked by Irish republicanism and its use of dynamite for political ends. It highlights both physical damage caused to prominent buildings like Sir Watkin Williams Wynn's House in St James's Square and psychological scars left on society due to acts of terrorism. Bridgeman Images' print allows viewers to engage with this poignant moment in history; it invites contemplation about how societies respond to such violence while acknowledging that this particular image should not be used for commercial purposes.
