EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "How do you do MF001503_19" we are transported back in time to the enchanting Tower of London, nestled on the historic grounds of Tower Hill in London. The image, captured by renowned photographer John Gay between 1935 and 1939, beautifully captures a rare interaction between two iconic figures: a Beefeater and a majestic raven. As our gaze is drawn towards the scene, we witness the Beefeater gracefully bending down to address the magnificent bird perched before him. Both subjects exude an air of intrigue and wisdom that seems to transcend time itself. The raven's dark feathers contrast against the Beefeater's traditional uniform, creating a visually striking composition. The Tower of London has long been shrouded in mystery and folklore, with ravens playing an integral role in its history. Legend has it that if these mystical birds were ever to leave the tower, disaster would befall England. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of this age-old superstition while also capturing an intimate moment between man and nature. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, this print offers us a glimpse into bygone years when tradition intertwined with mythology at one of Britain's most treasured landmarks. It invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature and ponder upon centuries-old tales that continue to shape our cultural heritage today.
