EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Holy Thursday, Distribution of Maunday Charity at Whitehall, bringing in the Salver with the Royal Alms" takes us back to 19th century London and offers a glimpse into a significant ceremonial event. The artist behind this masterpiece is Durand Godefroy (1832-1896), known for his exceptional attention to detail and ability to capture historical moments. The scene depicts Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday, where charitable acts were performed by the British monarch. In this particular moment, we witness the arrival of a salver containing the royal alms being brought into Whitehall. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as participants engage in this sacred ceremony. Durand's artistic prowess shines through in his meticulous rendering of every intricate detail - from the ornate costumes worn by those involved to the grandeur of Whitehall itself. Through his skilled handiwork, he transports us back in time and allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic occasion. This engraving was originally created for publication in The Graphic on April 7th, 1877. It serves as both an artistic representation and a historical document that captures an important aspect of British tradition during that era. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also of its significance as a testament to cultural practices long gone by. Durand Godefroy's work continues to captivate viewers even centuries later, serving as a window into our rich past.
