Broadside celebrating the Peace of Utrecht, 1714 with an etched illustration: on the right, the figure of Peace reclines at an altar on the shore; she holds a caduceus; at her feet the Declaration of War is burning in a cauldron above which she holds a scroll announcing peace between Spain and the Netherlands whose coats-of-arms appear on the altar together with two clasped hands, a palm and olive branch and a flaming wedding ring. Other figures are, from left to right: three children dancing on a tattered French flag around an olive tree, one holding a cheese and with wine flasks at her feet; Plenty flies above with cornucopias dropping flowers and fruit towards where two doves bill on the ground; another dove, holding an olive branch, flies above her; behind Peace, stands the figure of "Libertas Batava" holding the cap of liberty, a palm branch and the seven arrows of the United Provinces. In the background, to left, a classical ship floats on a calm sea; agricultural implements lie on the ground. The letterpress text with verses in three columns in Dutch and French, has been separated.  1714
