EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Riot at Lillie-Bridge Grounds, West Brompton, Destruction of the Pavilion" takes us back to a tumultuous event that unfolded in 19th century London. The image depicts the aftermath of a riotous scene at the Lillie-Bridge Grounds, where chaos and destruction have left their indelible mark. The once majestic pavilion now lies in ruins, its grandeur reduced to rubble. As we explore the interior view captured by this artwork, we witness the devastation that has befallen every corner of this cherished establishment. From the dressing room to the ladies' boudoir and even the secretary's office and members bar – no space was spared from this rampage. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of desolation through intricate details: shattered windows, broken furniture, and scattered debris serve as haunting reminders of what transpired on that fateful day. It is evident that emotions ran high within these walls as passions flared amidst an atmosphere charged with tension. Through this engraving commissioned for The Illustrated London News in September 1887, we are transported back in time to bear witness to an event etched into history. This print serves as both a visual record and a testament to human nature's capacity for both creation and destruction. As we contemplate this image from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent but rather with curiosity about our shared past, let us reflect upon how moments like these shape societies and remind
