EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Tower of London, captured in this exquisite 1883 watercolour print by artist John Crowther. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring to life the grandeur of this iconic fortress, located in Stepney, London. In this particular view, we are treated to a glimpse of the magnificent Byward Tower, with its imposing presence dominating the scene. To provide a complete perspective of this historic structure, Crowther ingeniously shifted the Bell Tower slightly to the right. Amidst these architectural marvels stands a Beefeater - one of Britain's most recognizable symbols. Dressed in their distinctive uniform that has remained largely unchanged for centuries, these Yeoman Warders add an air of authenticity and tradition to the composition. This artwork not only showcases the tower's splendour but also transports us back through time. It captures both medieval fortification and 19th-century England seamlessly within its brushstrokes. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this masterpiece offers a captivating window into London's rich history. As you gaze upon it, imagine yourself wandering through those ancient walls and experiencing firsthand what life was like during those distant times.
