EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Installation of Sir W M Gomm, GCB; GCSI, as Constable of the Tower, inspecting the Beefeaters" captures a momentous ceremony at the Tower of London in the 19th century. Created by artist Durand Godefroy in 1872, this artwork showcases the grandeur and tradition associated with such an event. In this scene, Sir W M Gomm is being installed as the Constable of the Tower while he inspects his ceremonial guard, known as Beefeaters. The knights and yeomen are dressed in their iconic uniforms adorned with medals and regalia. As a Knight Grand Cross (GCB) and Knight Grand Commander (GCSI), Sir W M Gomm's prestigious titles are evident through his attire. The composition exudes a sense of importance and reverence for this historic occasion. The artist pays attention to detail, capturing every intricate element from the ornate architecture of the tower to each individual's expression. This engraving serves not only as a visual record but also as a celebration of British heritage and tradition. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when ceremonies like these were significant social events that showcased power and authority.
