Movable Feasts on the River Thames

Abstract

The eloquent cover of this issue, reproduced opposite, was supplied by Paul Christianson to illustrate this essay on the City of London and its feasts by the River Thames. So, too, was our frontispiece of the Lord Mayor’s barge. These two illustrations are courtesy of Guildhall Library, Corporation of London; the third, a copy of the account for a dinner cooked in 1754, is courtesy of the Corporation of London Records Office.
