EDITORS COMMENTS
The Seven Hundredth Anniversary of the London Mayoralty (litho) captures a momentous occasion in the history of the City of London. This exquisite print, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant milestone celebrated on November 9,1889. The image depicts a grand gathering where dignitaries and notable figures from different eras come together to commemorate seven centuries of mayoralty. The central focus is on a seal-bearing figure surrounded by various seals and symbols representing power and authority. These include the great seal, counterseal, common seal, and facsimile. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness key historical events that shaped London's governance. From William the Conqueror's establishment of mayoralty to King John granting a charter for self-governance in 1199; from Henry FitzAilwin becoming the first Lord Mayor of London to St Paul and St Thomas Becket being depicted as influential figures within this narrative. This engraving not only serves as a visual testament to London's rich heritage but also pays homage to its enduring traditions. It reminds us that even after seven hundred years, the institution of mayoralty continues to play an integral role in shaping one of the world's most iconic cities.
