EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the shocking aftermath of recent dynamite explosions at the House of Commons in London. The image, created by an anonymous American School artist in the 19th century, depicts a scene of chaos and destruction. The House of Commons, a symbol of democracy and political power, has been targeted by acts of terrorism that have left its grand facade shattered and smoldering. The impact marks on the building's exterior reveal the sheer force unleashed by these explosive devices. The engraving serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present threat faced by societies around the world. Terrorism knows no boundaries or limitations; it strikes fear into even the most fortified institutions. Here, we witness firsthand how an act intended to disrupt democratic processes has left behind a trail of devastation. Edward King's book "Europe in Storm and Calm" provides additional context for this illustration, shedding light on this specific incident within its pages. This print is now part of a private collection but continues to serve as a powerful historical document. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember those who have fallen victim to such acts and honor their resilience in rebuilding what was lost. May it also inspire us to work towards peace and unity so that future generations may never experience such horrors again.
