EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Who goes there?", we are transported back to a moment of ceremonial grandeur in the heart of London. The City Marshal stands tall and resolute, challenging the imposing figure of the Pursuivant of Arms who demands admittance to the city for a significant proclamation. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation as onlookers gather, curious about the unfolding events. The City Marshal's duty is clear - he must ensure that only those worthy may enter and proclaim the King's message within these ancient walls. This engraving, created by William Small after an original work, captures not only the physicality but also the weighty symbolism behind this encounter. It was originally published in The Graphic on February 2nd, 1901, showcasing its significance during that time. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection today, we can't help but be drawn into its historical context. We imagine ourselves standing among those witnessing this royal ceremony unfold before our eyes. "Who goes there?" serves as a reminder of London's rich history and traditions surrounding royalty. It invites us to reflect on moments when power and authority intersected with everyday life in grand displays like these.
