EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of William II building the iconic Tower of London. In this vibrant colour lithograph, artist Charles Goldsborough Anderson beautifully depicts the grandeur and significance of this medieval construction project. Mounted on horseback, King William II can be seen closely observing the progress with a watchful eye. The towering castle walls rise majestically behind him, symbolizing his power and authority as a monarch. This image transports us back to 11th century England, immersing us in an era where castles were not only fortresses but also symbols of royal might. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stone seems meticulously placed by skilled craftsmen under the king's supervision. The horses in the foreground add a touch of life and movement to the scene, reminding us that even amidst such monumental tasks, daily life continued for both man and beast. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "The Modern World" a publication that aimed to chronicle British history from 1688 onwards. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage and its enduring fascination with its past. Whether you are captivated by English history or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print offers a window into an important chapter in British monarchy and architectural legacy.
