EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to a momentous occasion in history - The Thanksgiving Day. The Lord Mayor of London stands proudly as he presents the City Sword to none other than Queen Victoria herself at Temple Bar. This ceremonial event, captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, exudes grandeur and significance. The scene is filled with regal elegance and pomp as the Lord Mayor pays homage to his sovereign ruler. The Queen's presence commands attention, her poise and grace radiating through the image. Adorned in her royal attire, she graciously accepts the symbolic sword presented before her. Temple Bar serves as a majestic backdrop for this historic encounter. Its iconic architecture adds depth and character to the composition while symbolizing the gateway between two worlds - that of royalty and that of governance. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on March 9th, 1872, capturing a moment that would forever be etched in time. It showcases not only an important ceremony but also highlights the unity between city officials and their monarch during a day dedicated to gratitude. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by its historical significance and marvel at how it encapsulates both tradition and reverence towards those who hold positions of power within our society.
