Vintage John P. Soule photo of the 1869 Boston Peace Jubilee at the Coliseum in St. James Park, Boston, Mass, two identical 3 x 3 aerial images affixed to an orange 6.75 x 3.25 cardstock John P. Soule mount. Mild to moderate spotting and surface marks, otherwise fine condition. These images present a Stereoview overview of the Coliseum and Midway Grounds in St. James Park, the location of the The National Peace Jubilee, a celebration of the "Restoration of Peace" after the Civil War, organized by Patrick Gilmore in Boston, 1869. It featured an enormous orchestra and a chorus, as well as numerous soloists. In total, more than 11,000 performers participated, including the famous violinist, Ole Bull, as the orchestra's concert director. The Jubilee became the "high-water mark in the influence of the band in American life"; along with the World Peace Jubilee and International Music Festival in 1872, it made Gilmore a famous composer and bandmaster. The Coliseum shown in the present image was built especially for this enormous musical event.
