Thomas Blood attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London in 1671, (1937). Although Blood (1618-1680) got his hands on the jewels, the alarm was raised and he failed to get out of the Tower. Perhaps surprisingly, Charles II pardoned him fully for the crime. An illustration from the Illustrated London News: Coronation Record Number, (London, 1937).
