EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "The Peace Rejoicings - Hoisting the Royal Standard at the Tower of London, 1856," depicts a momentous occasion in British history. The image, created by W. Thomas for the Illustrated London News, celebrates the end of the Crimean War. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in Victorian apparel, are seen hoisting the Royal Standard at the Tower of London. The Royal Standard, a large flag bearing the monarch's personal coat of arms, symbolizes the sovereignty and authority of the British monarchy. The men, dressed in top hats and suits, are assisted by a ladder and ropes as they ascend the fortified tower. In the background, St. Paul's Cathedral and other iconic London landmarks, including the River Thames, can be seen. The print captures the excitement and jubilation of the moment, as the people of London rejoiced in the peace that had been achieved after years of conflict. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant geopolitical event that saw Britain and France intervene in the Russian Empire's conflict with the Ottoman Empire. This print is a testament to the power of the press in documenting and preserving historical moments for future generations.
