"Warder: Guardians of History, Protectors of Society" Step into the world of warders, where their duty goes beyond mere occupation. From the bustling fields of Lagonda Agriculture Works in Ohio to the formidable walls of the Tower of London, these individuals have played diverse roles throughout history. In a captivating LAGONDA ADVERTISEMENT poster, farmers proudly showcase their hard work and dedication. Little did they know that their efforts would contribute to shaping societies for generations to come. Emily dreams of becoming a prison warder, embracing her calling with unwavering determination. Her desire to maintain order and ensure justice echoes through her every step. The monochrome image captures the stoic presence of Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London. These guardians stand as sentinels against time itself, preserving ancient traditions and tales within those historic walls. Dating back to late 1890s and circa 1870 respectively, photographs depict Yeomen Warders on duty at the Tower. Their uniforms exude authority while hinting at a rich heritage rooted in centuries-old customs. Yet not all wards are confined by stone walls; suffragettes fought valiantly for equality even behind bars. Force-fed milk symbolizes their resilience as they endured unimaginable hardships in pursuit of women's rights. Amongst them stands the Chief Yeoman Warder - an embodiment of leadership amidst adversity. His unwavering commitment ensures that justice prevails within those hallowed grounds. Even Beefeaters face challenges unique to their role; sweltering heatwaves test their resolve as they continue safeguarding historical treasures under scorching sun rays. Political prisoners find solace in unity during tumultuous times captured in a poignant collage from 1931. Bound together by shared ideals, they defy oppression with unyielding spirit and hope for a brighter future beyond prison bars. Traveling further afar brings us scenes from Egyptian prisons depicted through engravings - a stark reminder of the universal struggle for freedom and justice.
