EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the historic moment when the Royal Proclamation of Peace was read at Dublin Castle in 1856, marking the end of the Crimean War. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and ceremony, as thousands of soldiers, dressed in their finest uniforms, stand at attention. Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, and other heralds, along with members of the Viceregal Household, ascend to the castle balcony. The air is thick with anticipation as Athlone Pursuivant calls for silence, and the Queen's Proclamation of Peace is read aloud. The crowd below responds with shouts of "God Save the Queen," and the bands strike up in celebration. The architectural features of Dublin Castle provide a striking backdrop to this momentous occasion, with its ornate balconies, columns, and intricate details. The soldiers, both infantry and cavalry, are a testament to the might of the British Army during this era, with their bayonets fixed and horses at the ready. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the pomp and show that accompanied such important announcements in the 19th century.
