EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Queen Mary entering London, 1553" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in British history. The illustration, originally featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation circa 1923, beautifully captures the grandeur and significance of Queen Mary's arrival. In this scene, we see Queen Mary (1516-58) accompanied by her half-sister Princess Elizabeth (1533-1603), making their triumphant entry into London during August 1553. As they approach the city gates, both sisters are greeted by a jubilant crowd eagerly awaiting their arrival. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as people from all walks of life gather to pay homage to their new ruler. The artist John Byam Liston Shaw masterfully portrays the contrasting emotions within this historical moment. While some members of the crowd kneel before their queen as a sign of respect and loyalty, others can be seen rejoicing and celebrating her ascension to power. This image not only highlights the political significance of Queen Mary's reign but also sheds light on the religious divide that characterized Tudor England. With Protestantism gaining ground during this period while Catholicism remained deeply rooted in tradition, it is fascinating to observe how these dynamics play out within this visual narrative. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in British history—a moment when two powerful women took center stage amidst great anticipation and fervor from their subjects.
