EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 1800s depicts an Alderman of London adorned in his ceremonial robes. The scarlet robe, bordered with luxurious fur, exudes a sense of grandeur and tradition. In this intricate handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Alexander, we are transported back to a time when the Lord Mayor was chosen annually from among the esteemed group of 26 aldermen. The Alderman's attire is meticulously detailed, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and societal norms of England during this period. The artist behind this masterpiece, Jean-Baptiste Eyries, was not only a geographer but also an author and translator. His work aimed to capture the essence of English costumes, manners, and mores for readers in France. This print offers us a glimpse into the administrative world of 19th-century London. It serves as a reminder that clothing can be more than just fabric; it carries with it centuries-old traditions and symbols that shape our understanding of society. As we admire this image today, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over time while still preserving elements rooted in history. This engraving invites us to appreciate both the beauty and significance found within traditional attire – an enduring testament to British culture and identity.
