EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Whittington Stone, Upper Holloway, London, 1854: A Historical Marker Commemorating Sir Richard Whittington's Legendary Revelation This evocative engraving, produced in 1854, presents a captivating image of The Whittington Stone, a cherished historical marker situated in Upper Holloway, London. The stone stands as a testament to the enduring legend of Sir Richard Whittington (1358-1423), three-time Lord Mayor of London. Tradition holds that Sir Richard, a wealthy merchant, once sat on this very spot, deeply pondering his misfortunes. As the tale goes, he heard the distant sound of Bow Bells chiming the decree for the election of a new Lord Mayor. In response, he exclaimed, "Turn again, Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London!" This serendipitous event marked the beginning of his illustrious political career. The Whittington Stone, a significant piece of London's rich history, is an essential part of the city's folklore. The memorial stone, which dates back to the 17th century, was replaced with the current version in 1854. The engraving showcases the stone's intricate design, which includes an image of Sir Richard Whittington, a horse, and a bell, symbolizing the pivotal moment in his life. Seated atop the stone, Sir Richard appears deep in thought, his expression reflecting the uncertainty and introspection that preceded his remarkable transformation. The image transports us back to a time when London's streets were filled with the sounds of horse hooves, the clanging of bells, and the bustling energy of a thriving metropolis. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of the power of perseverance, the importance of seizing opportunities, and the enduring allure of London's storied past.
