The image commemorates the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, signed on October 18, 1748, which marked the end of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48). The treaty was largely negotiated by Britain and France, with other powers following their lead. The photograph depicts a serene scene in St. James's Park, with the Chinese Pagoda and Bridge standing proudly in the foreground. The ornamental lake, dotted with boats and a hot air balloon, adds to the picturesque setting. In the background, London's cityscape can be seen, with the British flag flying high on a standard. The print, which originated from the "Illustrated London News," showcases the grandeur of the Victorian era. The Chinese Pagoda, a popular tourist attraction in the park, adds an exotic touch to the scene, reflecting the growing influence of China during this period. The print also highlights the various modes of transportation available during the 19th century, including boats, balloons, and land travel. The commemoration of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in St. James's Park was a significant event in London's history, attracting tourists and locals alike.
