EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by George Greenwell, we are transported back to a beautiful summer morning at the historic Tower of London. The BBC film unit was hard at work creating an enchanting scene for their production of "Elizabeth R" a series that delves into the fascinating life of Elizabeth I. On this particular day in 1970, something extraordinary happened - rain poured down relentlessly as if summoned by the film crew's magic. It is said that for the first time in 150 years, Traitors Gate swung open its imposing doors, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance to the filming process. Glenda Jackson, a talented actress known for her remarkable performances, takes center stage in this photograph. She portrays Elizabeth I with such conviction that even nature couldn't resist joining in on the act. As she stands there drenched from head to toe, it becomes evident that no obstacle can deter her commitment to bringing history alive on screen. This image serves as a testament to both the dedication of those involved in creating compelling television dramas and the power they hold to transport us through time and space. It reminds us of how artistry can seamlessly blend with reality when passion meets opportunity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Glenda Jackson's unwavering determination and talent while also appreciating George Greenwell's ability to capture such a momentous occasion with his camera lens.
