'Tower of London. On Left - Bloody Tower. On Right - St. Thomas's Tower and Wakefield Tower', c1910. View of part of the Tower of London - historic palace, prison, fortress and armoury - which dates from the 11th century. 'The Wakefield Tower, in which, since 1856, the Crown Jewels have been kept. The Bloody Tower, aptly named, for here the young Princes were murdered by order of their Uncle Richard III. St. Thomas's Tower, above the Traitors' Gate, through which many illustrious prisoners have passed, little deserving the name of traitor.' Postcard. [Raphael Tuck & Sons]
