EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Lord Mayors Show, 1902" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of London over a century ago. The annual civic pageant is in full swing, with its grandeur and humours on display for all to see. Artist Ralph Cleaver skillfully captures the essence of this momentous occasion. The image showcases a procession of masters and dignitaries parading through the city's historic streets, adorned with elaborate coronation decorations. Their clothing exudes regality and local color, adding an extra touch of splendor to the scene. Amidst the pomp and ceremony lies a suggestion of mischief as well. Cleaver includes incidentals that prove both amusing and intriguing - from characters dressed as Hamlet or King John to individuals sporting pneumatic calves! These playful touches add an element of surprise and whimsy to the otherwise formal affair. One cannot help but be drawn into this snapshot from history, where tradition meets revelry in perfect harmony. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when such events were eagerly anticipated by Londoners from all walks of life. "The Lord Mayors Show, 1902" print serves as a reminder that even amidst solemn ceremonies and official duties, there is always room for celebration and joy. It encapsulates not only the spirit of this particular event but also reflects the enduring traditions that have shaped London's rich cultural heritage throughout centuries past.
