EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tower of London, an iconic symbol of British history and fortification, is showcased in this collection of photographs taken in 1885. Officially known as Her Majesty's Royal Palace and the Fortress of the Tower of London, this historic structure was built during the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century. For centuries, the Tower served various functions, from a royal residence and armory to a treasury and, most notably, a prison. The images reveal the rich tapestry of the Tower's history, with glimpses into its darker past through the depiction of dungeons and weapons. The Tower's weaponry, including helmets, armor, and various weapons, are displayed in the armory, reminding us of the military might that once protected the kingdom. The council chambers and lower chambers offer a glimpse into the Tower's role as a seat of power, while the tombs pay tribute to those who once held the throne. The Tower of London's enduring allure lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the grandeur and intrigue of medieval England. These photographs offer a unique window into the past, providing a visual narrative of the Tower's storied history and its role as a testament to the monarchy's power and legacy.
