EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of British history and heritage. The Tower of London, BR (LMR) poster, dating from 1948-1965, showcases the iconic landmark in all its grandeur. Created by talented artist Christopher Clark, this artwork beautifully depicts the tower's majestic silhouette against a backdrop of cloudy skies. At first glance, our attention is drawn to the imposing structure itself – an architectural marvel that has withstood centuries of tumultuous events. But it is the figures in vibrant red uniforms that truly bring life to this scene. These are none other than the legendary Beefeaters or Yeomen Warders who have guarded this fortress for generations. Accompanying these stoic soldiers are their feathered companions - ravens - adding an air of mystery and folklore to the composition. Legend has it that as long as these birds remain within the tower's walls, England will be protected from harm. This poster serves as a powerful reminder of both historical significance and contemporary tourism appeal. It beckons visitors from around the world to explore not only one of London's most famous landmarks but also delve into Britain's rich past. Preserved within National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this print allows us to appreciate how artistry can transport us through time and space – evoking emotions and inspiring curiosity about our shared cultural heritage.
