EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Corporation of London (engraving)" by Henry William Brewer, capturing a momentous event in the city's history. The image takes us back to May 10,1884, when this illustration was featured in The Graphic magazine. It offers a glimpse into the grandeur and significance of the Corporation of London. Intriguingly, this engraving reveals various elements that defined the corporation during that era. From relics and singed books symbolizing past calamities like the Great Fire to early London fire engines representing their commitment to public safety, every detail tells a story. The architectural beauty of St Mary Abchurch stands tall amidst it all, showcasing its historical importance within the cityscape. Additionally, we catch sight of Lord Mayor's State Carriage—a magnificent vehicle used for ceremonial purposes during events like Hogarth's famous Lord Mayor's Show. This print not only captures an important moment but also highlights the deep-rooted traditions and ceremonies associated with the Corporation of London. It serves as a reminder of how these customs have shaped both governance and celebration within this iconic city throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where pomp and circumstance met civic duty with utmost elegance.
