EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene of the Attack on Lady Florence Dixie" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by Frank Watkins in 1883, captures the aftermath of an alleged assassination attempt on Lady Florence Dixie. The scene is set at Lady Florence's residence, where a wrought iron gate stands as a barrier between her and potential harm. The spot where the attack took place is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing the intensity and gravity of the event. Lady Florence Dixie was not only known for her aristocratic status but also for her involvement in fishery and her strong political views. This news item sheds light on Irish republicanism during that time period. The image portrays an eerie atmosphere as it hints at the danger lurking behind closed doors. It serves as a reminder of how even those living seemingly protected lives were not immune to acts of violence. Through this photo print, we are transported back to Berkshire in 1883 when Sir Beaumont made headlines for his alleged assault on Lady Florence Dixie. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical moment through their collection, allowing us to reflect upon past events that have shaped our present reality.
