EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Peace Commemoration at Lynn - the Fireworks in the Green-Park: the Grand Finale, 1856,' is a striking testament to the patriotic fervor that swept through Britain following the end of the Crimean War. The scene unfolds in the market square of King's Lynn, Norfolk, where an elaborate firework display illuminates the night sky. The grand finale is depicted in all its glory, with a cascade of lights spelling out 'God Save the Queen,' a symbolic tribute to Queen Victoria and the nation's unity. The Illustrated London News, a prominent 19th-century newspaper, documented this political event, capturing the essence of the celebrations for its readers. The black and white engraving showcases an array of pyrotechnics, from rockets and fountains to intricate patterns, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The Peace Commemoration marked a significant moment in British history, bringing people together to celebrate the end of war and the promise of peace. The image, though unsigned, is a powerful reminder of the patriotic spirit that permeated the era, as well as the role of the press in documenting and disseminating important events. The time of day, Tuesday market place, and location in the park all contribute to the overall atmosphere of jubilation and unity, making this print a cherished piece of historical documentation.
