The Sun in Aries

About the show

A civic pageant celebrates the mercantile values of London through tableaux of Honour and the Drapers' patrons, a Tower of Virtue guarded by personified virtues, a figure whose fortunes were restored by English monarchs, and Phoebus Apollo among the zodiac and wool-bearing sheep. Aries prophesies that the sun will bring gladness to Barkham, and Fame concludes the event.
