EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The attempt to blow up London Bridge with dynamite on Saturday last" takes us back to a significant event in 19th-century history. Published as the cover of the Illustrated London News on December 20,1884, this illustration vividly depicts a daring act of terrorism that shook the heart of London. Intriguingly composed by an anonymous English School artist from that era, the print showcases a dramatic scene unfolding along the majestic River Thames. The bustling bridge stands tall amidst chaos and danger, as men frantically try to detonate dynamite with nefarious intentions. This powerful image captures not only their audacious act but also reflects upon the prevailing tensions surrounding Irish republicanism during that time. The level of detail in this historic artwork is truly remarkable. From the expressions etched onto people's faces to the explosive power depicted through billowing smoke and shattered debris, every element contributes to creating an atmosphere charged with suspense and urgency. As we gaze at this extraordinary piece from Peter Jackson Collection's archives, we are reminded of how acts of terror have long plagued societies throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even iconic landmarks like London Bridge can become targets for those seeking destruction. While this particular incident may have been thwarted, it remains forever imprinted in our collective memory through engravings such as these—a testament to both human resilience and our ongoing struggle against terrorism.
