Lord Mayor's Show - ancient knights, 1844. Procession during the annual public parade to celebrate the inauguration of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. 'The steel suits are real suits, and have been worn by great men in our country's history. The first one belonged, originally, to Sir Henry Lee, Master of the Horse in 1570, and is a fine specimen of strong plate armour. His sword and shield are borne by two cavaliers of the time of Charles I. The second group exhibits a nobleman of the time of James I., cased in plate armour, with epauldrons on the joints. His attendants are knights of the time of Elizabeth, in half armour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
