EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of a Beefeater guard standing proudly outside the historic Tower of London. The Tower, an iconic symbol of London and English history, has been a fortress since the late 11th century, and the Beefeaters, or Yeomen Warders, have been its ceremonial guard since the late 15th century. This evocative image, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an earlier era. The Beefeater, dressed in his traditional Tudor-style uniform, complete with tall hat, bearskin hat, and waistcoat, exudes an air of authority and tradition. He carries a lantern, adding to the atmospheric scene, as the sun begins to set over the Tower's ancient walls. Children, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire, gather around the Beefeater, their curiosity piqued by the sight of this historic figure. The photograph captures a moment of wonder and learning, as the next generation is introduced to the rich history of their city and country. The Tower of London, with its moat and drawbridge, looms in the background, a testament to the fortified past of England. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and history was a living, breathing part of daily life. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of the Tower of London and the tradition of the Beefeaters, a symbol of the past that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
