Description

Beautiful little engraving of the Tower of London, by perhaps the greatest visual recorder of 17th century London, the Czech engraver Wenceslaus Hollar.

The Tower is one of the most famous historical landmarks in Britain, and it has played an important role in the nation's history, having been besieged several times and, later, serving as a prison for important political enemies of the Crown.

Hind 22, notes: "A drawing of the Tower, taken from a point rather further away and embracing more buildings at either side, is in the British Museum."

Hind 22, 2nd state (of 2).
