EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1937, we witness a daring and audacious act that took place in the Tower of London back in 1671. The image depicts Thomas Blood, a notorious criminal of his time, attempting to steal the Crown Jewels. Despite managing to get his hands on these priceless treasures, fate was not on his side as an alarm was raised before he could make his escape. What makes this story even more intriguing is the unexpected twist that followed. Surprisingly, King Charles II himself granted Blood a full pardon for his audacious crime. This snapshot captures the tension and suspense of that fateful night within the tower's walls. The dimly lit interior reveals Blood standing near a doorway, dressed inconspicuously in clothes typical of the era. His cloak adds an air of mystery to his figure as he contemplates how to execute this high-stakes theft successfully. This photograph serves as a reminder of both our fascination with historical crimes and our curiosity about those who dare challenge authority. It also showcases the Tower of London's significance as a symbol of power and wealth throughout centuries. Preserved through time on this cigarette card from Peter Jackson Ltd. , it allows us to delve into history while pondering what motivated Thomas Blood's audacity and why King Charles II chose leniency over punishment for such an extraordinary act against royalty.
