EDITORS COMMENTS
Peace Illuminations in Pall Mall: A Grand Celebration of the End of the Crimean War (1856) This engraving depicts the jubilant scene of Peace Illuminations in Pall Mall, London, marking the cessation of hostilities in the Crimean War. The Ordnance Office, located on Pall Mall, is brilliantly illuminated, adorned with the images of the garter and the Queen's insignia, VR. The date, 1856, is inscribed at the bottom left corner of the image. The populace, gathered in the streets, eagerly awaited the news of peace, and this spectacle was their long-awaited reward. The excitement is palpable as the crowd gathers, with the Queen herself, depicted in the upper right corner, observing the scene from a balcony. The grandeur of the illuminations, with their intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflects the relief and joy felt by the people of London. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant conflict between the Russian Empire and several Western European nations, including Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which brought an end to the hostilities and resulted in territorial gains for the victorious allies. This engraving is a testament to the importance of the event and the excitement it generated in London. The Peace Illuminations in Pall Mall were a grand spectacle, a symbol of hope and unity in the aftermath of a long and arduous war.
