EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of "The Lord Mayors Jewel" from 1844. Created by an unknown artist, this ceremonial jewellery holds great significance as it represents the esteemed position of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. At its center, delicately carved in cameo style, lies the City arms - a beautiful blue design on an olive background. Surrounding this emblem is a garter adorned with vibrant blue hues, outlined in white and gold. The garter proudly displays the City motto "Domine Dirige Nos" (Lord, guide us) in golden letters. Encircling these remarkable elements is a lavish border made up of alternating gold Ss and diamond-studded silver rosettes. This opulent combination adds to the grandeur and splendor of this precious jewel. Captured during its heyday by The Illustrated London News in 1844, this photograph preserves not only a piece of Victorian history but also highlights the intricate details that make up this significant symbol. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when ceremony and tradition held immense importance within British society. The Lord Mayors Jewel serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and continues to be cherished for its beauty and historical value.
