EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Yeoman of the Guard attending Queen Elizabeth I on a Progress during the 16th century. Created by NC Goodnight, himself a Yeoman of the Guard, this image showcases an iconic figure from English history. The Yeomen Warders, also known as Beefeaters, have been ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London since their formation in 1485 and continue to fulfill this role today. In this striking photograph, we see a male Yeoman Warder dressed in traditional Elizabethan attire adorned with the royal badge. Mounted on his majestic horse, he exudes strength and authority as he carries out his duty to safeguard the British crown jewels. His hat is embellished with an ostrich feather crest while spurs adorn his boots. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this image, transporting us back to a bygone era when Queen Elizabeth I ruled England. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and cultural traditions that have endured through centuries. NC Goodnight's expertise as both photographer and subject lends authenticity to this remarkable portrayal. This print is not only visually stunning but also offers insight into the life and occupation of these esteemed guardians who have faithfully served their country for generations.
