Confirmation of Dr. Longley's election to the Archbishopric of Canterbury..., 1862. Creator: J. M. Williams
Confirmation of Dr. Longley's election to the Archbishopric of Canterbury in the Church of St. Mary-Le-Bow, Cheapside [London]: the Archbishop-elect taking the oaths, 1862. 'The Litany service was read by the Rev. Marshall Hall Vine, the Rector of the parish; after which the Archbishop, Bishops, and legal gentlemen took their seats at a table placed in the middle aisle...Proclamation was then made that if any one had any objection to urge against Dr. Longley he was to come forward and declare it, and, apparently, under the impression that there might be some persons who had not heard it, proclamation was again made, but with precisely the same result. The Archbishop then took the oaths in the usual form, and the proceedings terminated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the solemn moment of Confirmation of Dr. Longley's election to the Archbishopric of Canterbury in 1862. The scene unfolds at the Church of St. Mary-Le-Bow, Cheapside in London, where the Archbishop-elect is seen taking the oaths surrounded by bishops and legal gentlemen.
The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as Reverend Marshall Hall Vine leads the Litany service before Dr. Longley officially assumes his new role. Proclamations are made inviting objections against Dr. Longley, but none come forward, solidifying his appointment.
The intricate details captured in this engraving by J.M Williams transport us back to a time when such ceremonies held great significance within British society. The arches and architectural features of Bow Church provide a grand backdrop for this momentous occasion.
As we observe men and women alike witnessing this event, it serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play within religious and political circles during that era. The black and white imagery adds a sense of gravitas to the proceedings, emphasizing the weightiness of Dr. Longley's oath-taking.
This print not only documents an important chapter in history but also serves as a visual testament to tradition, faith, and authority intertwined within one captivating image from 19th-century England.
