EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the Inauguration of the Peace Trophy and Scutari Monument at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, London, in 1856. The event marked the culmination of the Crimean War, a significant turning point in British history. Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, is seen unveiling the sculptures, designed by the renowned Italian sculptor, Baron Marochetti. The veil on the south side of the transept is being lowered, revealing the Scutari Monument, a weeping angel statue with figures at each corner, and the Peace Trophy, a 20-foot high female figure clad in gold and silver tissue. The figure extends one hand holding an olive branch and the other offering corn, symbolizing peace and plenty. The Peace Trophy stands on a beautifully ornamented pedestal, between 70 and 80 feet in height, a testament to the grandeur of the occasion. Surrounding the monument are soldiers, all decorated with Crimean medals, adding to the solemnity and significance of the event. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, records the attendance of nearly 12,000 visitors, making it a memorable day in the history of the Crystal Palace. The Peace Trophy and Scutari Monument remain iconic symbols of the end of the Crimean War and the hope for peace and prosperity.
