Anvil Chorus

May 1869: One hundred Boston firemen hold their hammers aloft, ready for the cue to strike a hundred anvils at the Monster Musical Peace Jubilee of American bandleader Gilmore, held at Chickering Hall, Boston. Together with 10,000 choral voices, 100 instruments and a battery of cannons, the firemen played a part in the performance of Gounod's opera 'Faust'. (Photo by Three Lions/Getty Images)
