Photograph of the early 16th-century Clock Tower in School Yard, Eton College. The clock is set into a gateway of the schoolyard and is flanked by polygonal turrets. In the middle ground, on the right, stands a statue of the college's founder, King Henry VI (1421-71) wearing Garter robes set on a plinth surrounded by iron railings. A single male figure, with his right hand on his hip, stands in front of the statue looking up.
