This print takes us back to the year 1930, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Windsor Castle's Henry VIII Gateway. The iconic gateway stands tall in all its glory, showcasing intricate architectural details that have withstood the test of time. In the background, a group of visitors can be seen admiring this historical marvel, their presence adding scale and perspective to the image. However, it is impossible not to notice three members of the King's Guard standing proudly in their immaculate uniforms adorned with bearskin caps. These guardians exude an aura of discipline and loyalty as they stand at attention in the bottom right corner. Their presence serves as a reminder of both tradition and protection within these hallowed castle walls. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time when tourism was beginning to flourish. It offers us a unique insight into how Windsor Castle has long been an attraction for visitors from far and wide. This particular view was carefully chosen by GWR (Great Western Railway) for publicity purposes, aiming to entice travelers to explore Berkshire's majestic landmarks. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR, we are transported back to an era where castles held immense fascination for tourists seeking glimpses into England's regal past.
