EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Henry Taunt in 1888, captures a bustling scene in the historic town of Windsor, Berkshire. The image was taken from the junction of High Street and Peascod Street, looking up Castle Hill towards the majestic Windsor Castle. The imposing structure of the castle looms in the background, its grandeur undiminished by the passage of time. At the foot of the hill, a large group of soldiers in bearskins has gathered in front of the castle gates. Their smart uniforms and disciplined posture speak of the regimented order that was a hallmark of the Victorian era. The soldiers seem to be engaged in some activity, perhaps drilling or inspecting their equipment, as they go about their duties. The statue of Queen Victoria, a revered monarch of the time, stands sentinel in the foreground. Her regal presence adds to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the scene. The onlookers in the background, some of whom are dressed in Victorian attire, watch the soldiers with a mixture of curiosity and respect. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Windsor Castle was a symbol of royal power and prestige, and the British military was a source of pride and strength. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Windsor, a town that continues to draw visitors from around the world with its rich history and stunning architecture.
