EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the City of London Livery Companies and their arms in 1777. The broadsheet showcases a blank space for writing, surrounded by exquisite vignettes depicting various trades associated with twelve prominent Livery Companies of the City of London. Each trade is beautifully represented alongside its respective coat of arms, showcasing the rich heritage and craftsmanship that defined these guilds. The image also offers a glimpse into an annual tradition - the Lord Mayor's Show on the River Thames. In this scene, we witness a fleet of barges gracefully sailing along the river during this grand event held every 9th November. The boats are adorned with elaborate decorations, reflecting both opulence and tradition. This 18th-century etching not only provides insight into England's history but also emphasizes the importance placed on commerce, transportation, and waterways during that era. It serves as a testament to Britain's thriving economy at that time. Preserved by Guildhall Library Art Gallery, this anonymous masterpiece invites us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance. As we delve into each intricate detail within this monochrome composition— from heraldry to geographical features—we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates an entire country's identity through its depiction of livery companies' emblems and scenes from daily life in bustling London.
