EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Catteworth, the esteemed Lord Mayor of London from 1443 to 1444. Captured in this stunning image dating back to around 1450, Catteworth is depicted donning his aldermanic robes, a symbol of his high status and influence during the fifteenth century. As a prominent member of the Grocers Company, one of London's renowned livery companies, Catteworth played an integral role in shaping trade and commerce within England. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this watercolor portrait bring to life the medieval fashion trends prevalent during that era. The carefully crafted robe exudes elegance and authority while reflecting the opulence associated with individuals holding positions of power. Located at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece by Roger Leigh serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. It offers us a glimpse into the Middle Ages when men like Thomas Catteworth held sway over Britain's bustling capital city. As we admire this portrayal of an influential figure from our past, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize its importance in preserving our rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
