EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Attempt on the Life of the Queen, Reception of the News at the Stock Exchange, London, 'God save the Queen!'" captures a pivotal moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print depicts a scene that unfolded after news of an assassination attempt on Queen Victoria reached the Stock Exchange in London. Intriguingly detailed and filled with emotion, this illustration showcases how such shocking events reverberated through society. The stockbrokers and traders are seen reacting to this alarming news with expressions ranging from disbelief to concern. Their immediate response is to invoke patriotism by exclaiming "God save the Queen!" – a powerful testament to their loyalty and devotion. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on March 11th, 1882. It serves as both a historical record and a visual representation of how significant events can impact financial markets and public sentiment. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an era when news traveled slowly but had profound effects on society. It reminds us of our shared humanity and highlights how even attempts on royal lives could unite people under one common cause: protecting their beloved monarch.
