The Peace Illuminations - the Admiralty, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Peace Illuminations - the Admiralty, 1856. London celebrations to mark the end of the Crimean War. It was necessary that the people should share, or appear to share, in the joy felt by the official mind that diplomacy had put an end to that very inconvenient and very troublesome war in which Great Britain was incurring such large expense, and reaping such small satisfaction...it was resolved to celebrate the auspicious birthday of the Queen and the inauspicious Treaty of Peace on the same evening...the illuminations that are customary to express the love and respect of the people for the person of the Sovereign...assisted the Government in celebrating its own triumphs. Whatever foreign nations may believe...when they read or hear of the pyrotechny of this brilliant occasion, the people at home will not be deceived. They know that they accepted the Peace because they had no alternative'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © /Heritage Images

The Peace Illuminations - the Admiralty, 1856: A Grand Celebration of the End of the Crimean War This image captures the breathtaking scene of The Peace Illuminations at the Admiralty in London, held on the night of August 31, 1856, to mark the end of the Crimean War. The war, which had been ongoing since 1853, had caused significant hardship and expense for Great Britain, and the people were eager for a resolution. The decision to celebrate the Queen's birthday and the signing of the Treaty of Peace on the same evening was a strategic move by the government to share in the joy and relief felt by the people. The illuminations, a traditional expression of the people's love and respect for the monarch, served as an effective tool to showcase the government's triumphs and to boost morale. The stunning display of lights, fireworks, and decorations illuminated the Admiralty, creating a magical atmosphere that reflected the collective relief and jubilation of the British people. The image captures the grandeur and splendor of the occasion, with the illuminated buildings reflecting in the Thames, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky. Despite the foreign perception that the celebrations were merely a show of government triumph, the people at home knew the truth. They had accepted the peace not out of jubilation, but out of necessity, as there was no alternative. The Peace Illuminations served as a symbol of unity and hope, bringing the people together to celebrate the end of a long and costly war.
