The Lord Mayor Embarking on a Historic Journey - Sir John Parsons Sets Sail for Westminster, London, 1703
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in London's history. Taken around 1850, it depicts the departure of the esteemed Lord Mayor, Sir John Parsons, as he boards his barge at the iconic Red Lion Brewhouse along St Katherines Way. The image showcases the grandeur of this ceremonial event that took place in 1703. The scene is filled with bustling activity as people gather to witness this important journey. The river Thames serves as a majestic backdrop, reflecting the city's rich maritime heritage. Towering buildings line both sides of the riverbank while smoke billows from chimneys nearby. Sir John Parsons stands tall and proud amidst his entourage, ready to navigate through London's waterways towards Westminster. His oarsmen prepare their oars diligently as they await his command to set sail. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into an era long gone but also provides valuable insights into England's political and cultural landscape during the eighteenth century. It is an extraordinary visual record preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to appreciate. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured in monochrome beauty, let us remember its significance in shaping our understanding of Britain's past.
