EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1760, capturing the majestic Tilbury Fort in all its glory. Situated on the north bank of the Thames at Tilbury, Essex, this historic fortification was built with a crucial purpose - to safeguard London from potential naval invasions. Its construction began in 1672 and it stood as a formidable obstacle against warships attempting to navigate upriver towards the heart of England's capital. The image showcases the impressive architecture of Tilbury Fort, designed specifically for strategic defense. Equipped with powerful artillery, it served as an impenetrable barrier against any enemy vessels daring enough to challenge its might. Not only did it protect London from maritime threats but also guarded against land-based attacks. The photograph transports us back in time when military prowess played a vital role in securing nations' safety. It offers a glimpse into England's rich history and highlights the importance placed on fortifications during that era. With its commanding presence overlooking the river, this landmark stands tall as a testament to British strength and resilience. The intricate details captured by Hulton Archive bring life to this historical masterpiece, allowing viewers to appreciate both its architectural grandeur and significance within European military history.
