EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the Festival of Empire exhibition held at the Crystal Palace in 1911, showcasing the rich and diverse history of London City through a Pageant of Citizens. The scene depicts various historical figures and events, bringing the past to life for visitors. At the heart of the image, we see Queen Elizabeth I surrounded by an array of visitors from far-off lands, including chiefs and women dressed in traditional attire. Nearby, Maid Marian, the legendary heroine of Robin Hood fame, stands amongst the crowd. The pageant also recalls significant moments in London's history, such as the Peasants' Revolt, represented by the rising that cost Wat Tyler his life. Jack o' the Green, a character from English folklore, is also present, adding a touch of mystique to the event. Other notable figures include Queen Joan of Navarre, who appears twice in the image, first as the stepmother of King Henry V and later as the wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Prince Charles, later King Charles I, is shown with Mary, Queen Dowager of France, who he later married. The procession includes historical figures like William the Conqueror making a formal entry, as well as the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and coroner in the procession of Richard III. The Queen of Henry VII, Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII with his first wife, Katherine of Aragon, are also depicted. The photograph also showcases the Roman invasion of London and early dwellers in Britain, as well as dancing girls in Roman London and a Merrie England scene featuring a decorated ox-wagon. This enchanting image offers a glimpse into London's rich and varied past, transporting us back in time to an era filled with history, culture, and tradition.
