EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Peace Illumination, The Strand, June 1856" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print captures the essence of joy and relief that filled the streets of London after the end of the Crimean War. Published in the Illustrated London News in June 1856, this artwork immortalizes a grand celebration known as Peace Illumination. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to The Strand, where throngs of people gather under a starry night sky adorned with dazzling lights. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and unity. The image showcases not only jubilant crowds but also architectural marvels lining both sides of The Strand. Towering buildings stand witness to this historic event while serving as a backdrop for revelers basking in newfound peace. Queen Victoria herself can be seen symbolically represented as "Victoria Regina" or VR on one illuminated structure—a testament to her role in bringing about this victorious conclusion to war. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to glimpse into a time when hope triumphed over conflict and humanity came together to celebrate peace. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, light can prevail – illuminating our path towards harmony and unity.
