Sitting of the Peace Congress in the Paul's-Kirche, at Frankfort, [in Germany], 1850. '...St. Paul's Church [was] made memorable by the recent meetings of the Frankfort Parliament. It is a handsome circular building, with a gallery supported by marble columns, and was fitted up in its present state for the German Parliament. Behind the President's chair was a large shield blazoned with the German eagle, whilst above the crimson drapery...were three flags, each black, crimson, and gold, the staves surrounded by triumphal wreaths...it was whispered round the place that General Haynau was present. He sat for some time near one of the side doors, listening, apparently, with much attention, but left before the termination of the proceedings. The seats...were, on the present occasion, filled by a numerous company, made up of Germans, Englishmen, Americans, Frenchmen, and Belgians'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
