EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, dated 1885, captures a moment in history as the Regalia, the ancient and revered ceremonial objects of the Monarchy of England, are displayed at the Tower of London. The image showcases the awe-inspiring August Decoration, a grand display of the regalia that takes place every year on the anniversary of the coronation of King Charles II in 1661. The Regalia, including the Crown of St. Edward, the Sceptre with the Cross, and the Sovereign's Orb, are proudly on display for the public to witness, a tradition that began in the 13th century. In the foreground, a Yeoman Warder, dressed in his iconic Tudor-style uniform, keeps a watchful eye on the sightseers. The Yeoman Warders, also known as the Beefeaters, have been guarding the Tower of London and its precious treasures since the late 15th century. Their presence adds an air of historical authenticity and security to the scene. The Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been a symbol of British history and tradition for centuries. This engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and grandeur of the Regalia and the Tower of London. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ornate decorations on the Regalia to the curious expressions of the sightseers, transport us back in time, providing a unique and captivating perspective on a significant historical event.
