EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in the historical calendar of the City of London, as a distinguished group of dignitaries assemble outside the Law Courts during the annual Lord Mayor's Show procession, circa 1911. The outgoing Lord Mayor, resplendent in his fur-trimmed robes, velvet cap, and chain of office, stands proudly alongside his successor, who wears the same regalia adorned with new medals and trimming. The ceremonial atmosphere is palpable, with the men in their ornate uniforms and wigs, holding maces and swords, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The procession, a special event in the City's calendar, sees the new Lord Mayor being escorted through the streets of the City on the River Thames in a magnificent barge, before being welcomed by the Corporation of London and taking up his duties. The old and new Lords Mayor, along with other city officials, are seen here in their finest attire, reflecting the rich history and tradition of this ancient institution. The photograph, taken from the Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grand processions, ceremonial pageantry, and the changing of the guard in the City of London.
