EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "City Horsemanship or Procession to St Paul's, 1789" captures a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases the royal procession to St Paul's Cathedral in London during the 18th century. A crowd of people lines the streets, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their beloved King George III. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when religion played a significant role in society. The towering cathedral stands proudly in the background, symbolizing faith and spirituality. Amongst the sea of faces, men on horseback can be seen leading the way through crowded lanes and avenues. Signs scattered throughout proclaim "Seats to Let" "St Georges Day" and "God Save the King". These signs serve as reminders of both celebration and reverence for their monarch. This illustration is part of a collection by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), showcasing social caricatures from 18th-century Britain. It offers us a glimpse into an era where grand processions were held with great pomp and splendor. Through this photograph, we witness not only an event but also a reflection of British culture at that time – its devotion to tradition, its religious fervor, and its unwavering loyalty towards their king. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these historical moments continue to captivate our imagination and provide valuable insights into our shared heritage.
