EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lord Mayor at the Red Lion Brewhouse, St Katherines Way, London, c1703 (c1850 (?)). Sir John Parsons leaving for Westminster by barge". This print captures a momentous scene from 18th or 19th century London. The image showcases Sir John Parsons, the esteemed Lord Mayor of London, as he prepares to embark on a journey to Westminster. Standing outside the iconic Red Lion Brewhouse in St Katherines Way, this historic building adds an air of grandeur to the scene. The photograph beautifully depicts the bustling riverbank of the River Thames with its numerous boats and barges lining up along the quayside. An oarsman is seen skillfully maneuvering one such boat that will transport Sir John Parsons across the water. The smoke rising from chimneys in nearby buildings hints at a vibrant brewing industry that once thrived in this area. Located in Tower Hamlets' East End district, this snapshot offers a glimpse into both London's rich history and its thriving trade during this era. The composition expertly combines elements of geography and architecture while showcasing daily life activities along St Katherines Way. Preserved through a monochrome photo mechanical process, this remarkable image allows us to travel back in time and witness an important moment in British history. It serves as a testament to not only Sir John Parsons' influential role but also highlights how transportation via water played a significant part in shaping London's landscape.
