EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Yoeman of the Guard, or Beefeater, standing proudly in front of the iconic Tower of London. Dating back to the late 19th century, between approximately 1890 and 1900, this picturesque photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of England. The Yoeman of the Guard, a traditional ceremonial role established by King Henry VII in 1485, is a symbol of the monarchy and the British military. Dressed in their distinctive red and white uniforms, these guards have been responsible for the ceremonial guarding of the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. This nostalgic photograph, with its warm, coloured tones, transports us back to an era of grandeur and tradition. The Beefeater's stern gaze and upright posture exude a sense of pride and duty, making for a truly captivating and historical view. The photograph's use of the Photochrom process adds to its charm, as the technique allowed for the creation of detailed, coloured images from black-and-white originals. This process, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, resulted in vibrant, nostalgic prints that continue to captivate audiences today. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to appreciate the history and tradition it represents. The Yoeman of the Guard, the Tower of London, and the rich tapestry of England's past are all brought to life in this stunning, coloured photograph.
