The image showcases the aftermath of a devastating explosion at Hounslow Powder-Mills, captured by an anonymous English School artist. The scene is one of utter devastation and chaos. Thick plumes of smoke rise into the sky as debris litters the ground, bearing witness to the immense power unleashed during this catastrophic incident.
