This engraving, titled "Attempt to shoot the Emperor of Russia in the Bois de Boulogne, Seizure of the Assassin" takes us back to a momentous event in history. The image depicts a dramatic scene where an attempt on the life of Emperor Alexander II of Russia is thwarted. Set in the picturesque Bois de Boulogne, France, this incident unfolds with intensity and suspense. The artist, Jules Pelcoq, skillfully captures the chaos and urgency surrounding this assassination plot. We see the would-be assassin being seized by authorities while desperately clutching his weapon. The significance of this event reaches far beyond its immediate consequences. It serves as a reminder of both the vulnerability and strength that comes with royalty. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how even those who hold immense power can be targeted by those seeking to disrupt their reign. The intricate details within this engraving transport us back to 1867 when it was first published in The Illustrated London News.
