The image showcases a magnificent display of fireworks illuminating the night sky in front of the iconic Hotel de Ville. As spectators gather around, their faces filled with awe and excitement, the grandeur of this momentous occasion is palpable. The Peace of Versailles, marking the end of the American War of Independence, is being joyously commemorated by both French and British citizens. This Anglo-French peace treaty brought an era of tranquility and reconciliation between two nations previously embroiled in conflict.
