The grand procession to St Paul's on St George's Day 1789. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A long strip design on two plates of the royal procession (left to right) to St. Paul's similar in intention to BMSat 7524. On the extreme left is Temple Bar, through which the royal coach has just passed, followed by two mounted Life-Guardsmen. In the royal coach (not the glass coach actually used) sit the King and Queen; facing them is a very ugly woman (? Mrs. Schwellenberg; actually, two ladies of the Queen's bedchamber). Pitt as the only postilion rides the near leader of the eight cream-coloured horses. The coachman and the three footmen standing at the back of the coach may be intended for politicians but cannot be identified. Immediately in front of the King's coach rides the 'LORD MAYOR' (Gill), holding the City Sword, which he has just offered to the King, see BMSat 7524, and in great difficulties with his horse, whose mane he grasps. One man seizes the reins, another holds the Mayor's leg. He is bald-headed, as are the citizens who precede him. In front of him ride three pairs of citizens wearing civic robes, all in difficulties, and riding very badly. One of the two foremost falls backwards screaming, both arms in the air. Before the City contingent of the sheriffs and four Common Councilmen rides a man on a goat with a leek in his hat, evidently Sir Watkin Lewis (cf. BMSat 6509). Behind the cavalcade is visible here and there a row of bayonets, held at varying angles. In front of the procession, and on the extreme right, are the City Militia who guarded the route on the east of Temple Bar. They are of grotesquely unsoldierly appearance, holding their muskets with extreme awkwardness, as in BMSat 7524.
