EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Cheapside on Lord Mayors Day in 1761. The procession of Sir Samuel Fludyer, a prominent figure of his time, can be seen making its way through the bustling streets as George III watches from a grand balcony above. This historic moment was beautifully immortalized by an unknown creator and featured in Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" published by A. & C. Black, Ltd. , London in 1925. The image showcases the architectural features of Cheapside, with its charming balconies adorned with flags and banners fluttering in the wind. The avenue is filled with people from all walks of life - men and women alike - eagerly participating or spectating this magnificent event. The city comes alive as residents celebrate their rich heritage and pay homage to their Lord Mayor. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into 18th-century London but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of community and pageantry that has defined this great city throughout history. It reminds us of the importance placed on tradition, culture, and civic pride during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where parades were grand spectacles that united both monarchs and commoners alike under one banner – celebrating together amidst crowded streets filled with joyous revelry.
