EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Effects of the Explosion at Clerkenwell" offers a haunting glimpse into the aftermath of a devastating event. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the chaotic scene following an explosion that occurred in Clerkenwell. The image showcases the destruction caused by this tragic incident, with houses reduced to ruins and debris scattered across Corporation Lane. The interiors of nearby jails are exposed, revealing the impact on prisoners and highlighting their desperate attempts to escape amidst the chaos. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of both the physical and emotional toll inflicted upon London during this time. Notably featured in The Illustrated London News on December 28,1867, this artwork sheds light on Irish republicanism's involvement in such acts of violence. It provides historical context for understanding how political tensions influenced events like these explosions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece from its private collection, allowing us to reflect upon past tragedies while appreciating art's ability to capture moments frozen in time. As we observe "Effects of the Explosion at Clerkenwell" we are reminded not only of human resilience but also our responsibility to learn from history and strive for peace within society.
