EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures the grandeur and significance of the Commemoration of the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697. The scene is filled with a bustling parade, as troops march proudly through the square, accompanied by soldiers and their guns. A canal runs alongside, adorned with a beautifully decorated barge that adds to the festive atmosphere. The event draws a large crowd of onlookers who gather to witness this momentous occasion. The city comes alive with celebration as people from all walks of life come together to commemorate this historic peace treaty. The Peace of Rijswijk marked the end of the War of the Grand Alliance and brought about several important concessions. France returned territories while Scotland and Ireland were also affected by these agreements. Commercial concessions were made to Holland, solidifying its position in international trade. In this print, artist Lorenz Scherm skillfully captures both the pomp and circumstance surrounding this event as well as its political implications. It serves as a visual reminder not only of past conflicts but also highlights diplomacy's power in bringing nations together for peaceful resolutions. This image provides us with an insight into Dutch history while showcasing Scherm's artistic talent in capturing such an important historical moment.
