This anonymous engraving from 1713 depicts the coats of arms of the British plenipotentiaries who participated in the Peace of Utrecht negotiations. The image features the arms of Great Britain surmounted by a crown, as well as those of the two British plenipotentiaries, "L'Ang" and "Strafford" (presumably, this refers to Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford) The coats of arms are depicted with great detail and precision, reflecting the importance of heraldry during this period. The engraving was likely commissioned as a commemorative document of the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the War of the Spanish Succession.
