A short sketch of the Beauchamp tower, Tower of London: and also a guide to the inscriptions and devices left on the walls thereof

Dick, William Robertson · 1891 · London [etc.] Bemros and sons · 14 pictures

A guidebook of 1891 by William Robertson Dick, published in London, describing the Beauchamp Tower in the Tower of London and the inscriptions and devices carved on its walls for visitors. The plates are rubbings reproduced as grey halftone-like engravings, showing carved stone panels with lettering, heraldic shields, and emblems. A designer might take from them the look of worn incised lettering, Gothic and Roman capitals, and framed heraldic cartouches.

London (England). Tower. Beauchamp tower
