The Dynamite Outrages in Westminster - A Glimpse into London's Dark Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Dynamite Outrages in Westminster" takes us back to a tumultuous period in 19th-century London. The engraving, created by an English School artist and featured in The Illustrated London News on June 7,1884, offers a chilling depiction of the Fenian dynamite campaign that shook the city. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of a devastating explosion that occurred near St James's Square. The chaotic atmosphere is palpable as Scotland Yard detectives and Metropolitan Police officers scramble to investigate the incident. The remnants of Sir Watkin Wynn's house stand eerily amidst the destruction, serving as a haunting reminder of the power wielded by Irish republicanism during this time. Amidst the chaos, our gaze is drawn towards a bar parlour where patrons seek refuge from the terror outside. This image serves as a stark reminder that acts of terrorism can strike anywhere – even within familiar establishments like London's Junior Carlton Club or public carriage offices. Beyond its historical significance, this engraving also showcases remarkable architectural details such as ornate grill rooms and rising sun motifs adorning buildings throughout Westminster. It provides us with insight into both daily life and moments of crisis experienced by Victorian-era Londoners. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era marked by fear and uncertainty
