EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a haunting moment in history, frozen in time. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, specifically May 1884, when Scotland Yard was rocked by a devastating explosion. The debris scattered across the street serves as a stark reminder of the violent campaign waged by Irish republicans known as Fenians.

As headquarters for MPS, Scotland Yard became an unfortunate target for these bomb attacks. This particular incident left its mark on both physical structures and public consciousness alike. The photograph showcases fragments of shattered walls strewn haphazardly amidst urban chaos. It is impossible not to feel a sense of awe mixed with trepidation while gazing upon this scene frozen in time. One can only imagine the fear and confusion that engulfed Londoners during those turbulent times.
