The Peace Commemoration at Portsmouth - Triumphal Monument on Southsea Common, 1856. Celebrating the end of the Crimean War in Hampshire. 'Southsea Common was decked out, at the expense of the borough, with a vast number of flags of all nations, tastefully-constructed arches of evergreens, and one of the landmarks for ships entering the harbour had been turned into a triumphal pillar by means of suitable and ingenious additions and decorations. On the sides of the pillar were inscribed the, names of the Allied Powers - England, France, Turkey, Sardinia - and the various engagements in which, during the late war, their armies had, either collectively or individually, distinguished themselves. On the summit of this pillar was the figure of Britannia, holding a flagstaff, from which waved the Royal standard'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
