Who was the Lord Mayor of London in November 1902?

• A. Marcus Samuel
• B. James Henry Greatorex
• C. Herbert Samuel
• D. William Ewart Blyth

Answer: (A)

This question tests knowledge of who held the ceremonial post of Lord Mayor of London for a specific year. The Lord Mayor is the head of the City of London Corporation and serves a one-year term that begins in November, with duties that include representing the City at official events and leading the annual Lord Mayor’s Show. In November 1902, the office was held by Marcus Samuel, a prominent City merchant who led the City’s affairs that year and later became Viscount Bearsted. The term he served aligns with the November 1902 installation and the following year, during the reign of King Edward VII. The other individuals listed were not the Lord Mayor in that time frame.
