The Royal Military Tournament, Armour-Clad Train attacking a Fort: A Glimpse into 19th Century Warfare". This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary event - The Royal Military Tournament. In this particular scene, we find ourselves amidst the chaos of battle as an Armour-Clad Train relentlessly attacks a formidable fort. The image showcases the sheer power and innovation of military technology during this era. The imposing train, armored from head to toe, stands as a symbol of progress and modern warfare. Its cannons protrude menacingly from its sides, ready to unleash destruction upon its enemies. The setting for this dramatic encounter is none other than London's Agricultural Hall in Islington. This grand venue served as the backdrop for various exhibitions and events throughout history but was transformed into a battlefield on this occasion. Spectators would have been awestruck by the spectacle before them; witnessing such an unconventional clash between tradition and advancement. As we delve deeper into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that it was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 18th, 1887. It serves not only as a visual feast but also offers insight into how society perceived war and technological advancements at that time.
