EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a significant moment in American history - the assassination attempt on President William McKinley during his visit to the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo. The image portrays Mr. McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, moments before he was shot by an anarchist. The artist from the 19th century American School skillfully depicts President McKinley with a dignified and resolute expression, unaware of the imminent danger that awaits him. This print serves as a haunting reminder of how political figures can become targets for acts of violence. The Pan-American Exhibition, known for showcasing technological advancements and cultural exchange between nations, became synonymous with this tragic event. It was here that an anarchist fired two shots at President McKinley on September 6th, 1901. Published in The Graphic on September 14th, 1901, this illustration provides a visual narrative of this shocking incident that shook the nation. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as both a historical artifact and artistic representation. Through its intricate details and emotional depth, this engraving immortalizes not only Mr. William McKinley but also highlights the vulnerability faced by leaders who strive to serve their country amidst turbulent times.
