This print showcases a portion of the Lord Mayor's Collar of Ss, dating back to 1844. The ceremonial dress worn by the esteemed Lord Mayor of the City of London is beautifully depicted in this engraving from the Illustrated London News. Crafted with pure gold, this magnificent collar consists of a series of links, each adorned with symbolic elements. These include letters that once represented squire or gentleman status, intertwined York and Lancaster roses representing unity, and an impressive knolt design. The chain is completed by the iconic portcullis badge associated with Henry VII. With meticulous detail, this collar boasts 28 Ss symbols, 14 roses, and 13 knolts in total. Its grandeur is matched only by its length - measuring an impressive 64 inches. The significance and historical value embodied in this piece are truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to British heritage and tradition while exemplifying the opulence befitting such prestigious occasions.
