Vintage engraving of the Trial of Roderick McLean for shooting at Queen Victoria. Roderick McLean attempted to assassinate Queen Victoria on March 2, 1882, at Windsor, England, with a pistol. McLean's motive was purportedly a curt reply to some poetry that he had mailed to the Queen. Tried for high treason that April 20, he was found not guilty, but insane by a jury after five minutes deliberation, and he lived out his remaining days in Broadmoor Asylum. The London Illustrated News, 1882
