The Right Hon. Francis Graham Moon, Lord Mayor, 1854. Creator: Smyth
The Right Hon. Francis Graham Moon, Lord Mayor, 1854. Mr. Alderman Moon, the new Lord Mayor of London, is one of those to whom the citizens of London have paid honour with remarkable propriety; for, in every sense of the word, he is one of themselves - a citizen by his birth, his parentage, his education, his commercial enterprises, and his official occupations'. [Publisher and printmaker]. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, showcases The Right Hon. Francis Graham Moon, the newly appointed Lord Mayor of London. The caption accompanying the image extols Moon's deep connection to the city and its people. Born and raised in London, Moon's lineage, education, commercial ventures, and official roles have all been intricately woven into the fabric of London society. Moon's distinguished appearance is on full display in this monochrome engraving, as he dons the traditional regalia of the Lord Mayor, including the fur-lined robe and the iconic mayoral chain. The intricate details of the robe's design and the rich textures of the fabric are beautifully rendered in this meticulously crafted print. The image was produced by Smyth, a renowned printmaker and publisher of the time. Smyth's skillful execution brings to life the essence of this historic moment, capturing the dignity and gravity of Moon's new role as Lord Mayor. The print is a testament to the artistic and journalistic prowess of the Illustrated London News, which was at the forefront of documenting and disseminating the news and culture of the day. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London's citizens celebrated the achievements of one of their own. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the printed image to capture the spirit of an era and preserve it for future generations.
