The event was part of the wider peace celebrations held throughout Britain to mark the successful conclusion of the war and the signing of the Treaty of Paris in March 1856.

The painting serves not only as a visual record of a significant historical event but also as a testament to the public mood and the cultural importance of public celebrations during the Victorian era.
