EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the somber moment when tragedy struck the United States. William McKinley, the 25th President of the USA from 1896, is depicted here in a powerful image that forever memorializes his untimely demise. On September 6,1901, at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz fired a fatal shot at McKinley. The nation was left stunned and grieving. The Sphere, a renowned London publication, featured this heart-wrenching photograph on September 14th of that fateful year. It serves as a testament to both McKinley's legacy and the shocking act of violence that cut short his presidency. McKinley was not just any politician; he was a lawyer by profession who dedicated himself to serving his country with utmost dedication and integrity. His assassination sent shockwaves throughout America and beyond. As we gaze upon this historic image today, let us remember William McKinley for his leadership during challenging times and mourn the loss caused by senseless acts like those committed by anarchists such as Czolgosz. This photograph stands as a reminder of how fragile democracy can be but also highlights our resilience in overcoming adversity.
