EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by George Cruikshank, we are transported back to a chilling scene within the historic walls of the Tower of London. The image depicts Cuthbert Cholmondeley as he stumbles upon the lifeless body of Alexia in the eerie Devilin Tower. Published in William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "The Tower of London: A Historical Romance" in 1840, this print brings to life a haunting moment from England's past. The atmosphere is palpable as we witness Cholmondeley's shock and horror at discovering the tragic fate that has befallen Alexia. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from the intricate engravings on the walls to Cholmondeley's anguished expression. As viewers, we can almost feel ourselves standing beside him, enveloped by an overwhelming sense of mystery and intrigue. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of a pivotal moment in literature but also offers us a glimpse into one aspect of life within these ancient royal walls. It reminds us that even amidst grandeur and opulence, darkness and tragedy can lurk. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, our imagination takes flight, weaving tales around what led to Alexia's demise and how it will impact those who remain within these hallowed halls. It is through art like this that history comes alive before our eyes – reminding us that behind every stone lies stories waiting to be discovered
