EDITORS COMMENTS
Windsor Castle, a historic and grandiose fortress nestled in the heart of Berkshire, England, as depicted in this photograph, CC72_02426, taken by Henry Taunt in 1888. The castle, a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy, has its origins dating back to the Norman Conquest when William the Conqueror built the first fortification on this very site. However, it was during the reign of Henry II, between 1165 and 1179, that the first stone buildings were erected. The photograph offers a unique perspective of Windsor Castle, taken from above Romney Lock. The tranquil waters of the River Thames reflect the castle's majestic silhouette, while the raised flag atop the Round Tower signifies that Queen Victoria was in residence at the time. The image, a snapshot of history, transports us back to the Victorian era, a time of elegance and grandeur. Henry Taunt, a skilled photographer of his time, captured the essence of Windsor Castle's timeless beauty. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of the art of photography are evident in this breathtaking image. The photograph, a treasure in its own right, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Windsor Castle and the rich history it holds. This photograph, a priceless piece of history, is now preserved by Historic England, ensuring that future generations can marvel at the splendor of Windsor Castle and the legacy of the monarchy it represents.
