EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a copy of an inscription from the wall of Beauchamp Tower in the Tower of London, dating back to 1797. The intricate artwork showcases a central circular roundel, adorned with a coat of arms, surrounded by four smaller roundels. One of these smaller roundels bears the date 1622, adding historical significance to this piece. Above and below the central device, we can read the inscription "T Salmon. . . Nectemere, Nectimore". This inscription holds great meaning as it represents the enduring spirit and resilience of those imprisoned within the tower throughout history. Many inscriptions left by prisoners have survived over time, serving as poignant reminders of their struggles. The artist behind this detailed copy is Charles Tomkins. His skillful aquatint technique brings out every intricate detail in this monochrome image. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when imprisonment was common for those who fell afoul of English law. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery in London's Tower Hamlets area, this artwork offers us a glimpse into Britain's past. It serves as a reminder not only of our country's rich heritage but also highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts like these inscriptions that tell stories untold elsewhere.
