EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century depicts a chaotic scene titled "Attack of the police officers on a gaming house". The image, part of a private collection, showcases an intense clash between law enforcement and individuals within a gaming establishment. Published in March 1824, this print offers a glimpse into London's underworld during that era. The composition is filled with movement and action as both sides confront each other with fervor. The blurred motion adds to the sense of agitation and urgency in this battle scene. It captures the raw emotions of those involved in this fight against crime.

It serves as a reminder of how societal conflicts have persisted throughout history. This intriguing engraving by English School provides us with a window into London's past, shedding light on an important news item from nearly two centuries ago.
