EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sir Richard Whittington, a legendary character from 15th-century London. The unknown creator skillfully portrays Whittington, who is famously associated with the tale of hearing Bow Bells urging him to return to the city and become Lord Mayor. This prophetic moment led to an extraordinary career for Whittington, as he served four terms as Lord Mayor of London, held positions in parliament, and was even a sheriff. The image showcases Whittington wearing his distinguished chain of office, symbolizing his authority and status within the city. His piercing gaze reflects determination and ambition that propelled him through various occupations during medieval times. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrait while evoking a sense of nostalgia for 19th-century Britain. Published in "Old and New London" by Walter Thornbury in 1897, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both the past and present. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by influential figures like Sir Richard Whittington. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by George Walter Thornbury on behalf of Cassell & Company Ltd. , let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time to witness an iconic individual who shaped London's history.
