EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1871, allowing us a glimpse into the haunting history of Traitors Gate at the Tower of London. Serving as the entrance from the River Thames, this gate witnessed countless ill-fated individuals who met their tragic demise within the Tower's walls. Among them were notable figures such as Queen Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More, and Queen Catherine Howard. The engraving beautifully captures the solemnity and grandeur of this historic landmark. Its intricate details showcase Norman architecture while emphasizing its significance as a symbol of power and punishment in capital cities throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination transports us to a time when Traitors Gate was not merely an image frozen in ink but rather a gateway through which real people passed on their final journey. The surrounding wall stands tall and imposing, reminding us that even those in positions of authority could face dire consequences for crossing certain lines. Published by William Collins, Sons & Company in 1871 for just one shilling, this engraving is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both greatness and darkness. It invites contemplation about our own actions and choices while paying homage to those whose lives were forever altered within these formidable walls.
