EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1882 takes us back in time to witness a crucial moment in history. The scene unfolds at Windsor Railway Station, just moments before an audacious attempt on the life of Queen Victoria. The image is divided into four distinct sections, each revealing a different aspect of this dramatic event. In section "a" we are introduced to Roderick Maclean, the man responsible for this heinous act. His portrait captures his stern expression and hints at the turmoil brewing within him. Section "b" presents a dotted line that indicates the trajectory of Maclean's shot, emphasizing its deadly intent. Superintendent Hayes takes center stage in section "c" representing law enforcement's valiant efforts to protect Her Majesty. His presence exudes determination as he stands ready to defend against any threat that may arise. Finally, section "d" offers a sketch portrait of Maclean himself—a chilling reminder of his role as both convict and detainee following his failed assassination attempt. This engraving not only serves as an illustrative technique but also provides valuable insight into Victorian-era arts and culture. Its vintage aesthetic adds depth and authenticity to our understanding of this historical event. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in a pivotal moment when danger lurked amidst railroads and transportation hubs—an unforgettable chapter etched forever in history's ann
