“This tower was erected anno 1079, by William the Conqueror, as a keep to a fortress begun by him in the year 1067, to awe the citizens of london; the architect was Gundulph, bishop of Rochester. Fitz Stephens has falsely attributed this edifice to Julias Cæsar.” (p. 140) The Tower of London is one of the most famous landmarks of London. Published in Nov. 1784 by S. Hooper. I have included some versions at 1680x1050, 1600x1200 pixels, 1024x768 and 800x600 with white borders to make them fit; these are suitable for wallpaper or screen desktop backgrounds. |
