EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling moment in history - the aftermath of a bomb attack at the Victoria Hotel in Canton. Taken on June 21,1924, during a banquet held in honor of M H Merlin, the Governor General of French Indo China, this image showcases the devastating consequences of an act of violence. In this monochrome photograph by Central News, we see the exterior view of the Victoria Hotel after a bomb was thrown through one of its windows. The scene is hauntingly silent as debris litters the ground and shattered glass reflects fragments of light. It serves as a stark reminder that even amidst celebrations and gatherings, danger can strike unexpectedly. The significance of this event lies not only in its immediate impact but also in its historical context. This incident occurred during a time when tensions were high between various political factions vying for control over Chinese territories. The image offers us a glimpse into an era marked by unrest and uncertainty. As we contemplate this Europeana photography from TopFoto, let us remember those affected by such acts of violence throughout history. May it serve as a testament to our collective resilience and determination to strive for peace and harmony despite adversity.
