EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the south-west view of the Jewel Tower, located in Old Palace Yard, Westminster, London. The image dates back to around 1805 and showcases the remarkable architecture of this medieval structure. Built in approximately 1365 by King Edward III, the Jewel Tower served as a repository for his precious treasures. Standing tall alongside Westminster Hall, it is one of the few remaining remnants of the historic Palace of Westminster. The etching beautifully portrays its intricate exterior design against a monochrome backdrop. The artist behind this masterpiece is John Thomas Smith. As you gaze at this photograph, you can't help but be transported back to an era when politics and power reigned supreme within these walls. Nature gracefully intertwines with history as a solitary tree stands beside the tower, adding a touch of serenity to this bustling cityscape. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image serves as a window into both 14th-century medieval life and 19th-century London. It reminds us that amidst modernity's constant evolution, fragments from our past endure as testaments to our rich heritage.
