The
Temple of Concord, Green Park
As
it appeared August 1st 1814. Built to mark the signing
of the peace agreement between France and England. On
its sides were depicted various representations of peace,
harmony, discord, strife, industry, war etc. The temple
was illumed at night and, when in working order, managed
to revolve rather spectacularly. Once can only imagine
the sight the night the
pagoda went up in flames (the pagoda is visible in
the background).
