EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Robert Ladbroke: Alderman and Lord Mayor of London, 1713-1773 This striking portrait depicts Sir Robert Ladbroke, an influential figure in the political and social landscape of 18th century London. Born in 1713, Ladbroke rose through the ranks of the City of London's political elite, serving as an Alderman from 1753 and eventually becoming Lord Mayor in 1768. Ladbroke's impressive career was marked by his dedication to public service and his commitment to the welfare of the city and its people. As a member of the Court of Aldermen, he played a key role in the governance of London, overseeing matters of law, order, and finance. His tenure as Lord Mayor was marked by his efforts to improve the city's infrastructure, including the construction of new streets and the repair of existing ones. This portrait captures Ladbroke in the prime of his life, dressed in the robes of office and wearing the insignia of the Lord Mayor. The richly textured fabric of his robe and the intricate detail of his chain of office are testament to the wealth and power that came with the position. The serious expression on his face and the steady gaze of his eyes suggest a man of great authority and determination. Sir Robert Ladbroke's legacy extends beyond his time in office. He was a generous benefactor, donating funds to charities and schools, and his name lives on in the streets and buildings of the City of London. This portrait serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to the history of London and the enduring influence of its past leaders.
