The Lord's Prayer, 1814

On 1 August 1814, a celebration took place in St James's Park, Green Park and Hyde Park to mark the return of peace and the 100th anniversary of the Hanoverian accession to the British throne. This souvenir was printed at one of the booths in Hyde Park. In the Serpentine, a mock battle took place between French and British fleets. The ships were barges from Woolwich fitted out to look like men-of-war.
