The New Lord Mayor - the Right Hon. John Musgrove, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The New Lord Mayor - the Right Hon. John Musgrove, 1850. Portrait of John Musgrove, British businessman and Lord Mayor of London. The Lord Chancellor congratulated the Lord Mayor elect upon the approbation which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to signify of the election made by the citizens of London. It was a source of great satisfaction to find that a gentleman whom his fellow-citizens held in so much honour and respect was chosen to the high office of chief magistrate at a time when such an influx of foreigners from all parts of the world as had never been imagined before was about to take place. The Exhibition of 1851 would be supported most powerfully throughout the Queen's dominions, and a most zealous activity would...be required from, and no doubt be afforded by, the gentleman whose election was hailed with such flattering circumstances'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait depicts The Right Hon. John Musgrove, the esteemed businessman and Lord Mayor of London in 1850. The image, an engraving from Illustrated London News, captures Musgrove's distinguished appearance as he dons the Chain of Office. The occasion of his election was marked by great fanfare, with the Lord Chancellor expressing his approval and Her Majesty's gracious acknowledgement of the citizens' choice. Musgrove's election was particularly significant at a time when London was experiencing an unprecedented influx of foreigners, and the upcoming Exhibition of 1851 required a vigorous and dedicated leader. The public's admiration for Musgrove was palpable, and his election was hailed with flattering circumstances. The engraving, a testament to the political climate of the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the esteemed position and responsibilities of the Lord Mayor of London during this period of great change and growth in the city.
