Fireworks Building for the Peace Celebration, in Hyde-Park, 1856. Creator: Unknown

Fireworks Building for the Peace Celebration, in Hyde-Park, [London], 1856. Preparations for marking the end of the Crimean War. It is rarely that the Government of this country takes the initiative in any matters of public rejoicing; and the public will naturally feel considerable interest to learn the details of the plan which...is about to be adopted. The grand peace fetes will consist almost exclusively of a display of pyrotechnic art, of the most magnificent and unprecedented character. All the available resources of Woolwich Arsenal have been...directed to the making up of enormous quantities of every description of fireworks...a large number of workmen have been busily engaged...in constructing a temporary wooden shed of enormous dimensions, which is to serve as the place of deposit for the fireworks, and also for their preparation and mounting previously to their discharge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
