EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the year 1868, showcases the grand entrance of the Lord Mayor of London into New Palace-Yard during the annual Lord Mayor's Show. The Lord Mayor, an esteemed figurehead of London's rich history and traditions, is depicted riding in a magnificent golden coach, adorned with intricate designs and regal insignia. Surrounding him are the vibrant and colorful liveries of the City of London Corporation's various guilds and companies, each representing a unique aspect of the city's rich customs and traditions. The procession, a living pageant of British history, makes its way through the throngs of eager spectators lining the streets of London. The excited onlookers, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly await the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the grand spectacle unfolding before them. In the foreground, a standard bearer proudly displays the City of London's coat of arms, while a page, dressed in traditional livery, attends to the Lord Mayor's horse. The Lord Mayor's Show is an enduring English tradition, dating back to the 16th century, and serves as a testament to the city's long and illustrious history. The annual event, which takes place on the Wednesday following the second Saturday in November, celebrates the installation of the new Lord Mayor and marks the beginning of their term in office. This photograph, taken in 1868, offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of this unique British institution.
