EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in British history. The image showcases the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Key, surrounded by various City tradesmen and other individuals, including a Christs Hospital scholar. The room they stand in is filled with evidence of the cancellation of the highly anticipated Lord Mayors show due to fears of anti-Wellington riots. The caricature-like depiction highlights the political tensions surrounding the figure of Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington. As one of Britain's most prominent military leaders and politicians during the 19th century, Wellington was both revered and criticized for his actions. This satirical etching reflects on Sir John Key's decision to cancel the Lord Mayors show out of concern for potential riots against Wellington. It offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between politics and public opinion at that time. Located at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this anonymous artwork serves as an important historical artifact showcasing not only key figures like Sir John Key but also ordinary traders who were affected by these political decisions. While it is unclear who created this piece or their specific intentions behind it, its significance lies in its ability to capture a moment frozen in time - illustrating how politics can shape public events and impact people's lives.
