EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the attempted assassination of Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India. The image showcases the aftermath of a bomb attack on his train as it neared Delhi Station on 23rd December 1929. Despite this terrifying incident, Lord Irwin managed to safely enter his residence in New Delhi. The photograph focuses on the wreckage caused by the bomb, specifically targeting and destroying the restaurant car which fortunately had no passengers inside at that time. However, one attendant did sustain minor injuries during this shocking event. With its monochrome composition, this picture transports us back to an era between wars when India was under British colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of the tense political climate and growing unrest against British Raj. The image also highlights the significance of railways as a mode of transport during that period. The train carriages stand silently witness to this act of violence at Delhi Station's entrance. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this historical photograph is not just an ordinary snapshot but rather a powerful testament to an important chapter in Indian history.
