EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history, depicting the attempted assassination of Henry Clay Frick by Russian-American anarchist Alexander Berkman during the Homestead Strike on July 23,1892. The wood engraving, created in America that same year, showcases the intensity and drama of this pivotal event. Henry Clay Frick was an influential American industrialist known for his involvement in the steel industry. However, his actions as a "robber baron" had drawn criticism from workers who felt oppressed under his leadership. This led to the infamous Homestead Strike, where tensions reached their peak. In this image, we see Frick seated at a table inside his office late at night. A lamp illuminates the scene as he engages with other men present. Little did he know that danger lurked nearby; Alexander Berkman approached him with malicious intent. The wood engraving beautifully conveys the gravity of this historic incident and highlights its impact on American society at large. It serves as a reminder of both Frick's controversial legacy and Berkman's radical activism. This print is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archives and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into one of America's most turbulent periods – when labor disputes clashed with powerful industrialists like Henry Clay Frick.
