1876 Elephant Elephants Mayor Mayors Pageant Pageantry Pageants Parade Parades Pass Passing Procession Tradition Traditions
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment during the 1876 Lord Mayor's Show in London when a grand procession of elephants passed under Temple Bar. The annual Lord Mayor's Show is a grand pageant and parade, steeped in tradition and history, which marks the installation of a new Lord Mayor of the City of London. In the late 19th century, the inclusion of elephants in the procession was a popular spectacle for the crowds, showcasing the city's connection to the British Empire and its far-reaching influence. The majestic animals, adorned with intricate decorations, can be seen passing through the iconic Temple Bar, a historic gateway marking the boundary between the City of London and the ancient City of Westminster. The image transports us back to the 1870s, offering a glimpse into the pageantry and excitement of this grand British tradition.
