The Peace Commemoration - the Fireworks in Victoria-Park, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Peace Commemoration - the Fireworks in Victoria-Park, 1856. Celebrating the end of the Crimean War in London. Twenty-one guns followed as a Royal salute, and then followed...the burning a large quantity of coloured fire...and the effect against the dense black sky was very striking. Of the fireworks, as a whole, it may be said that, although they were in tolerable quantity, and by a judicious spreading out lasted quite the prescribed time promised, they were not very novel or very striking. The aerial parts, namely, the flights of rockets and others of their kind, were good...[and] the spectators were soberly pleased in general, and once or twice broke out into mild applause...There was not a single drunken person, and but one policeman...In short, nothing could be more creditable to the inhabitants of this district than their conduct on this occasion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
