The Lord Mayor taking water at the New Pier, Blackfriars Bridge, 1845. Annual celebration for the inauguration of a new Lord Mayor of London [Spectacle Maker John Johnson was chosen in 1845], on the River Thames. The effect of the aquatic procession, as seen from Blackfriars-bridge at this moment, was very fine; the river, in addition to the state and city barges, being covered with a vast number of boats, many of which accompanied the procession to Westminster-bridge.

The Lord Mayor's Magnificent Water Procession on the River Thames, 1845
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in London's history - the annual celebration for the inauguration of a new Lord Mayor. The year was 1845, and Spectacle Maker John Johnson had been chosen to take up this prestigious role. The scene unfolds at the New Pier, Blackfriars Bridge, where an impressive flotilla of boats fills the river. The image showcases the grandeur and pageantry of this traditional event. State and city barges glide gracefully through the water, adorned with vibrant banners and flags fluttering in the wind. As far as the eye can see, countless smaller boats accompany them on their journey towards Westminster Bridge. From atop Blackfriars Bridge, spectators are treated to a breathtaking view of St. Paul's Cathedral towering majestically in the background. Its presence adds an air of reverence to this religiously significant occasion. Ebenezer Landells' skillful engraving brings every detail to life - from each individual boat to every person participating in this remarkable procession. It is a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to glimpse into London's rich history and witness one of its most cherished traditions. As we gaze upon this print today, we cannot help but be transported back to that momentous day in 1845 when London celebrated its new Lord Mayor amidst great pomp and splendor on the iconic River Thames.
