EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from the Illustrated London News, published in 1856, depicting a grand temple erected in Green-Park, London, to commemorate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle treaty signing in 1748. The treaty, which ended the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48), was largely negotiated by Britain and France, with other powers following their lead. The temple, a stunning architectural masterpiece, showcases elements of both Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Its exterior boasts intricate details, with columns and ornate decorations, while the interior is believed to have been designed for the optimal display of fireworks. The temple served as a fitting tribute to the peace agreement, with the fireworks illuminating the night sky in celebration. This print, a testament to the artistic and journalistic prowess of the time, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the past and the significance of the peace treaty that shaped European history.
