EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Lord Mayor Announcing the Peace' by the London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company, dates back to 1856, marking the end of the Crimean War. The image showcases a significant moment in London's history as the Lord Mayor, resplendent in his grand collar and jewel, announces the signing of the Treaty of Peace at Paris to the eager crowd gathered at the Mansion-House. Accompanied by Sheriffs Kennedy and Rose, the Lord Mayor stands proudly beneath the majestic portico of the City Palace, surrounded by the Swordbearer, Macebearer, and City Marshal. Their official attire adds to the formal atmosphere of the occasion. The Swordbearer, with his impressive sword and cap, and the City Marshal in his handsome uniform, further enhance the ceremonial character of the group. The Lord Mayor holds the scroll bearing the welcome announcement, which he had received from Sir George Grey, signifying the long-awaited end of the war. The collective relief and jubilation of the crowd is palpable, as they listen intently to the Lord Mayor's words. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the moment and the unity of the city during a time of peace.
