Attempted Assassination of Queen Victoria by Roderick Maclean 18
Vintage engraving of the attempted assassination of Queen Victoria by Roderick Maclean. This was the last of eight attempts over a period of forty years to kill or assault Victoria. McLeans motive was purportedly a curt reply to some poetry that he had mailed to the Queen.
