EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a significant moment in the City of London's history. The image depicts a pew in St Lawrence Jewry, occupied by the Retiring Lord Mayor during the Mayoral Sermon on Michaelmas Day. The scene exudes an air of solemnity and reverence as the distinguished figure listens attentively to the sermon being delivered. The grandeur of St Lawrence Jewry is evident in its ornate architecture and intricate details, which are beautifully captured in this print. The church itself holds great historical significance as it has been a place of worship for centuries. Michaelmas Day, traditionally celebrated on September 29th, marks an important event in the Christian calendar - the feast day of Saint Michael and All Angels. It also coincides with the end of one Lord Mayor's term and signals the beginning of another's tenure. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into a bygone era when religious ceremonies held immense importance within society. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there were moments where individuals sought solace and spiritual guidance within these sacred spaces. Preserved through time, this artwork allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical context. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our rich cultural heritage while marveling at the intricate craftsmanship displayed throughout this magnificent piece.
