Royal castles of England; comprising an account of those ancient fortresses which from the days of William the Conqueror either were the homes of English sovereigns or have been intimately associated with the history and romance of their lives
A 1913 popular history of English royal castles by Henry Charles Shelley, published in Boston by L. C. Page for American readers interested in British history and travel. The plates are sepia halftone photographs of ruined and standing stone fortresses seen across fields, moats and village streets, with battlemented towers, gatehouses and keeps in heavy tonal contrast; useful for silhouettes of medieval masonry, soft duotone skies and grainy landscape backdrops.
