Lord Mayors' Portraits

Published in June 2015 is a book called Lord Mayors' Portraits - Dame Mary Donaldson to Dame Fiona Woolf. This book explores the tradition of commissioning artists to paint portraits of Lord Mayors, looks at the wide variety of resulting portraits with comments from some of the artists and talks about each Lord Mayor's time in office. The scope of the book is limited to the period beginning with Dame Mary Donaldson and ending with Dame Fiona Woolf, the only two lady Lord Mayors, in recognition of the achievements of both women. Coincidentally, portraits of both women were painted by the same artist, Richard Stone. The portrait of Sir Allan Davis (shown above) and also by Richard Stone is included in the book, which costs £12 plus P&P and can be purchased from www.artandlife.co.uk/page01.php
