EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a man in uniform, standing proudly as the Guard of the Tower of London. The illustration was created by renowned artist William Nicholson in 1898 for his book "Types of London". The guard's stoic expression and impeccable attire reflect the discipline and dedication required for his role in protecting one of England's most iconic landmarks. His uniform, complete with a tall bearskin hat and polished buttons, showcases the rich history and tradition associated with British military regalia. Nicholson's attention to detail is evident in this artwork, as he skillfully portrays every intricate aspect of the guard's costume. The shading techniques used add depth and dimension to the image, bringing it to life. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to late 19th century London. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that these guards have upheld throughout history. Their presence symbolizes not only protection but also represents an integral part of British identity. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured this piece from his private collection, allowing us to appreciate Nicholson's artistic prowess while preserving a snapshot of time from over a century ago.
