EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Peace Commemoration - Country Visitors at the Illumination, 1856,' depicts an excited crowd in Paris, France, gathered to celebrate the end of the Crimean War. The preparations for the illuminations, particularly that of the Hotel de Ville, were on a grand scale. In the Place de la Concorde, magnificent fireworks were set to ignite the night sky. The photograph captures the essence of the 19th century, with the crowd donning fashionable clothing of the time. Women wear elegant dresses, some adorned with bonnets or parasols, while men don suits and hats. The British flag, proudly displayed among the crowd, signifies the involvement of Britain in the Crimean War. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of horse-drawn vehicles and carriages, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation. Gas lighting illuminates the streets, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The banners and flags, waving in the wind, add to the political and patriotic fervor of the moment. This commemorative image, published in the 'Illustrated London News,' offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of peace and celebration after a long-fought war. The image is a testament to the power of the press in shaping public opinion and spreading news and propaganda.
