EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the grand procession making its way through the bustling streets of Cheapside in the City of London during the historic visit of Queen Mary of Medici and her entourage to England in 1638. The Queen, an influential and powerful figure in European politics, was welcomed with great fanfare by King Charles I and his wife Henrietta Maria. The north-east view of Cheapside, as depicted in this print, showcases the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the city during this significant event. The iconic Cheapside Cross and Conduit, located at the heart of the scene, serve as landmarks and symbols of the city's rich history and religious devotion. The procession, featuring an array of elaborately decorated carriages, horse-drawn litters, and lavishly dressed attendees, makes its way towards the City of London, adding to the sense of grandeur and excitement. The 17th century was a time of great change and cultural exchange in England, and this procession in Cheapside serves as a testament to the country's connection to the wider European world. The visit of Queen Mary of Medici and her entourage marked an important moment in Anglo-French relations, and this print offers a unique glimpse into the opulence and pageantry of the era. The intricate details of the costumes, the ornate decorations on the carriages, and the lively expressions of the onlookers all contribute to the captivating and immersive quality of this image. This print is a valuable historical record of an important moment in English history and a testament to the enduring allure of the City of London during the 17th century.
