There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The Yeoman Warder is facing you on the left of the page. His uniform is black with red trimmings. He is wearing a flat-topped hat and down the page, his face can be found. On his chest are the initials E II R' in print characters with an image of a crown. This stands for Elizabeth II Regina (Elizabeth second reigns in Latin) One of his arms stretches out to the left with a hand holding a pikestaff (a sort of spear) with its sharp steel point at the top and its shaft going down to the bottom of the page. His other arm hangs by his side to the right. Around his waist, the warder wears a red and black belt with a sash hanging down to the hem of his coat. His two legs and feet can be found at the bottom of the page. There is a raven to the right of the warders feet. It is seen from the side and faces to the left. Both of its legs can be found. Further to the right, you can find the cannon. It is seen from the side facing to the right. At the bottom left of the cannon is its carriage: the support for the gun. To the right, halfway along the length of the barrel is one of the trumions (pivots) and down the page from this you can find one of the spoked wheels. The gun's barrel has its muzzle (the open end of the gun) on the right of the page. There is another raven perched on the muzzle facing to the right.
