EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic White Tower, a symbol of power and history in London. Taken from Sir Walter Besant's renowned book "Early London - Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and Norman" this image transports us back to the year 1908. The White Tower stands tall as an architectural masterpiece that has witnessed centuries of British history unfold within its walls. Built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, it served as a fortification and residence for English kings throughout time. The Duke of Normandy himself, King William I, commissioned this grand structure that still dominates the city skyline today. In this monochrome illustration, we see intricate details of the tower's medieval design. Its sturdy stone walls rise majestically against a backdrop of London's urban landscape. The artist skillfully captures both its imposing presence and delicate features with precise lines and shading. This print is not only a testament to Britain's rich heritage but also represents Sir Walter Besant's contribution to literature on early London history. Preserved through time by Adam & Charles Black publishers, it serves as a visual reminder of our country's past glory. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, let us appreciate how it connects us to our roots while reminding us that even amidst modernity, echoes of ancient times can still be found in every corner of our beloved city.
