Yeoman Warders DD97_00240
Yeoman Gaoler and Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London, 1873-'8. York & Son wet collodion glass plate negative. Privileged visitors had been permitted to tour the Tower of London since the late 16th century. During the 19th century the Tower continued to house several working institutions, but it gradually became more welcoming to tourists. Indeed, the fortress was deliberately medievalised and historic buildings were destroyed to make the site more attractive to visitors. By the end of the century the Tower was attracting over half a million tourists annually, and there would have been many potential customers for this view of Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the lives of Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London during the late 19th century. The image, taken by York & Son using wet collodion glass plate negative technique, showcases these iconic figures who have become synonymous with British history and tradition. During this period, the Tower of London underwent significant changes to accommodate its growing number of visitors. Once a fortress housing various institutions, it gradually transformed into an attraction that deliberately embraced its medieval roots. To enhance its appeal to tourists, historic buildings were even sacrificed. Privileged visitors had been granted access to tour the Tower since the 16th century; however, by the end of the 19th century, it was attracting over half a million tourists annually. This photograph would have undoubtedly appealed to those eager to witness firsthand one of England's most famous landmarks and encounter its legendary guardians – Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from Historic England's archive collection titled "Yeoman Warders DD97_00240" we are transported back in time. We can almost hear whispers echoing through centuries-old stone walls as these distinguished wardens stand tall in their traditional uniforms – symbols of authority and heritage. This print serves as a testament not only to our fascination with history but also to our enduring curiosity about those who safeguarded such monumental sites throughout generations. It reminds us that behind every grand monument lies countless stories waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations.
