EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the grandeur of The Lord Mayor of London's parade float on the Thames passing St. Paul's Cathedral in the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this historical moment, showcasing the elaborate decorations adorning the float as it glides along the river.
The image, taken from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar in 1807, is a testament to Friedrich Johann Bertuch's talent as a publisher and man of arts. His encyclopedia for children, filled with over 1,200 engraved plates on various subjects including natural history, science, costume, and mythology, remains a valuable resource even today.
As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness a spectacle that must have been truly awe-inspiring. The juxtaposition of the ornate float against the majestic backdrop of St. Paul's Cathedral creates a sense of majesty and splendor that is hard to match.
This print serves as a reminder of London's rich history and traditions, encapsulating an era when pageantry and celebration were at their peak. It is a window into a world long gone but forever preserved through artistry and craftsmanship.
