EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the year 1868, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and historical significance of the Tower of London. Standing tall against a cloudy sky, this iconic fortress appears both formidable and majestic. The western approach is beautifully captured, showcasing two magnificent gatehouses that have withstood the test of time: Middle Tower and Byward Tower. Built by Edward I during the late 13th century, these gatehouses serve as enduring symbols of strength and resilience. As we peer through the fence surrounding them, sentries stand guard at the entrance, their presence evoking a sense of duty and vigilance. Their watchful eyes scan every passerby who seeks entry into this historic landmark. The image transports us to an era when Victorian England relied on such fortifications for defense purposes. It reminds us that beyond its role as a tourist attraction today, the Tower of London once played an integral part in safeguarding Britain's interests. Photographed by J Davis Burton with meticulous attention to detail, this print captures not only architectural beauty but also offers a window into history itself. It serves as a testament to our rich heritage and invites contemplation about how our past has shaped our present.
