Attempted Assassination of the Prince of Wales at the Railway Station, Brussels. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, April 14th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frank Craig from a Sketch by H. Meunier, for "The Attempted Assassination of the Prince of Wales at the Railway Station, Brussels."

The Prince and Princess of Wales left England on Wednesday last week for Copenhagen, crossing from Dover to Calais.  As the train by which they were travelling was leaving the Nord Station at Brussels in the evening, a man jumped on the footboard of the Prince's carriage and fired two shots from a revolver into the saloon.  The shots fortunately missed the Prince.  The man was at once arrested.  He was found to be a youth aged sixteen, named Sipido.  When interrogated he declared that he intended to kill the Prince because His Royal Highness had caused thousands of men to be slaughtered in South Africa.  Directly he fired, Sipido was seized by M. Crocius, the Chef de Gare, and, according to the official account from the British Minister, they rolled together on the platform, during which a second shot was fired.  The people near rushed to help, and Sipido was at once arrested.

Condition is Very Good.
