1. Title: A Victorian Scene at the Burial Place of the Princes in the Tower, 1885 This evocative engraving, created in 1885, captures the historical significance and intrigue surrounding the Burial Place of the Princes in the Tower within the iconic Tower of London. The image portrays two Victorian visitors, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, as they stand in contemplative silence, gazing up the narrow stairway where the bodies of the two young princes, Edward V and Richard Duke of York, were discovered in 1674. The Princes in the Tower, the mysterious young sons of King Edward IV, vanished from the public eye in 1483, and their fates have remained a subject of fascination and debate for centuries. Their presumed burial place, located in the Tower of London, has drawn visitors from all corners of the world, eager to pay their respects and unravel the enigma surrounding their untimely demise. The engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when history held a more tangible allure. The meticulous details in the artwork, from the visitors' attire to the intricate stonework of the Tower, serve to highlight the historical importance of this site and the enduring curiosity it continues to inspire. August 1885 marked the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the boys' bodies, making this engraving a poignant reminder of the rich history that lies within the walls of the Tower of London. The image stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the role that historical sites continue to play in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
