EDITORS COMMENTS
This stereoscopic image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the iconic Tower of London in the 1930s. The ancient and modern come together in this striking photograph, as Yeomen Warders, also known as Beefeaters, proudly don their traditional uniforms alongside their contemporary counterparts. The Yeomen Warders, established in 1485, are the oldest military unit in the British Army, responsible for guarding the Tower of London and its crown jewels. Their distinctive red and blue uniforms, complete with bearskin hats and medals, have remained largely unchanged for centuries. In this photograph, we see a group of Yeomen Warders, both ancient and modern, standing proudly in front of the Tower's imposing walls. Their uniforms, with their gleaming bearskins and rows of medals, are a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Tower and its guards. The cobblestone path leading to the Tower adds to the outdoor, authentic atmosphere of the scene. The contrast between the ancient and modern uniforms highlights the enduring customs and traditions that have been preserved at the Tower of London. The Yeomen Warders continue to serve as a link to the past, standing guard over the Tower and its priceless treasures, while also representing the modern-day British military. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the Tower of London and its history. The stereoscopic format adds an extra dimension to the image, making it a captivating and immersive experience for the viewer.
