| Abstract | Report on the proposed celebration of the Treaty of Paris in Philadelphia. Amongst other celebratory events, the committee suggests a triumphal arch (designed by Charles Willson Peale) to be installed at the "Upper End of High or Market Street, between Sixth and Seventh Streets, to be embellished with illuminated Paintings and suitable Inscriptions..." The report includes very detailed information on the iconography and inscriptions on the triumphal arch. They also describe how people should move around the object as pedestrians and in carriages or on horses. Fireworks are also suggested. The committee warns that "[a]ny Boys or others, who disturb the Citizens by throwing Squibs or Crackers, or otherwise, will be immediately apprehended and sent to the Work-house." | ||
