Légende

Lord Mayor's Show - the Man in Brass, 1844. Procession during the annual public parade to celebrate the inauguration of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. Members of the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers display weapons and armour. 'The man in brass is not a man in armour at all, as the brazen envelope is of no period, and could not be worn in action. He is said, by courtesy, to be dressed in scale armour but the scales are more of the brazier's than the armourer's fancy. He is, however, a very grand fellow, and much admired by the people'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
