EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a momentous occasion in the heart of the city. Titled "The Sirdar in the City, the Lord Mayor presenting the Sword of Honour at the Guildhall" this print by Samuel Begg transports us back to November 4th, 1898. In this scene, we witness a grand ceremonial event unfolding at London's iconic Guildhall. The distinguished figure known as The Sirdar stands tall and proud, adorned in military regalia. With great honor and reverence, the Lord Mayor presents him with the prestigious Sword of Honour. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as onlookers gather to witness this historic moment. The engraving beautifully captures every detail – from the elaborate decorations adorning Guildhall's walls to each individual expression etched onto faces within the crowd. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on November 12th, 1898. It serves as a testament to both Herbert Kitchener's esteemed position as The Sirdar and his significant contributions to British military history. As we gaze upon this litho print today, it offers us a glimpse into an era long past but still resonating with grandeur and tradition. It reminds us that even amidst bustling city life, moments of ceremony can transport us beyond our daily routines into realms where honor and recognition take center stage.
