FESTIVITIES AT KILKENNY CASTLE ON THE COMING OF AGE OF THE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Festivities at Kilkenny Castle [in Ireland] on the Coming of Age of the Marquis of Ormonde, 1865. To celebrate '...the young Lord's twenty-first birthday...there was a grand display of fireworks on the castle-lawn...by arrangement of a committee of the citizens. It was supplied by Mr. J. Lawrence, of Dublin, and consisted of various water-rockets, fire-fountains, and other devices; also a beautiful horizontal wheel, discharging coloured stars in every direction, which was floated on a raft in the river, with wonderful effect. The aerial fireworks included rockets of every possible description, shells of golden rain, and coloured stars. The whole concluded with a magnificent motto-piece displaying the words, "Long live the House of Ormonde," in large letters of fire, which changed colours as if by magic. Our Illustration shows the effect of the fireworks in the college-lawn, with the castle in the background and the river in the middle distance. We understand that the Marchioness of Ormonde gave an order for the distribution of 5s. and 8lb. of beef to every labourer on the Ormonde property. Her Ladyship also sent a gratuity of £1 each to the inmates of the Ormonde Hospital'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

THE INTERNATIONAL NAVAL FESTIVAL AT PORTSMOUTH: FLIGHT OF ROCKETS AND ILLUMINATION..., 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The International Naval Festival at Portsmouth: flight of rockets and illumination of the Allied Fleets at Spithead, 1865. 'As if by magic...every ship in the two squadrons was so illuminated, by means of red, white, and blue lights placed in every port, at both broadsides, and both yardarms, that the object which only a few moments before looked...so grim and shadowy became at once transformed into a ship of light, revealing to view the outline of her slenderest spar. Rockets were then sent up in clusters from the whole of the fleet, which, as they burst in the heavens, expanded into bouquets...and then gradually melted away in the still air, but only to be followed at short intervals by other clusters of rockets bursting and descending in an equally-brilliant shower...as each set of lights died away, and the illumination seemed to be coming to an end, the full blaze of its splendour was again restored with the same magical rapidity with which it was first created...The illumination lasted for about twenty minutes, throughout the whole of which time the St. Vincent, the Duke of Wellington, and the other men-of- war in the harbour, displayed lights at every porthole, causing the gentle ripple on the waves to sparkle like diamonds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. The International Naval Festival at Portsmouth: flight of rockets and illumination..., 1865. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
