EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the Glenrowan Inn, a once bustling hotel that became the focal point of one of Australia's most infamous criminal episodes in 1880. The image shows the ruined remains of the inn following the siege, where Ned Kelly and his gang, led by the notorious outlaw, attempted to derail a train carrying a large contingent of police officers. A brave hostage, who had been held captive by the gang, managed to escape and alerted the oncoming train, which came to a halt just in time, averting a potential disaster. With the police now hot on their heels, Kelly and his gang retreated to the inn, where they held out for several days against the relentless pursuit of the authorities. The siege resulted in the tragic deaths of three members of the Kelly gang, including Ned's brother Dan, and the capture of Ned Kelly himself. The image of the Glenrowan Inn, now in ruins, stands as a poignant reminder of this pivotal moment in Australian history, when the myth of the bushranger was forever transformed into the reality of a criminal's downfall." This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a rare glimpse into the aftermath of the Glenrowan siege, a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate the Australian imagination. The image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs held by Mary Evans Picture Library, offering a unique insight into the past.
