7 1/2 x 10 sheet matted to 6 1/4 x 9 1/2 (mat measures 9 x 11 3/4). Color print from an original photograph of Walmer Castle. An artistic rendering that also provides a good level of architectural detail. Appearing prominently in the foreground are a series of cannons beneath the eastern of four bastions surrounding the interior circular keep. The northern bastion forms the gatehouse, only the top portion of which is visible here. Two figures in the foreground are a useful addition to indicate scale. Walmer Castle was constructed in the mid-sixteenth century against the threat of Spanish and French invasion, but was not besieged until the English Civil War over one hundred years later. Show more
