This 1802 engraving by David Moens, titled *Verklaring bij een prent met allegorie op de Vrede van Amiens, 1802*, details the historical context of the Peace of Amiens, a treaty that temporarily halted hostilities between France and Great Britain. Moens's work depicts the signing of the treaty, including the text of the agreement, and is an example of the artistic trend of celebrating peace following the Napoleonic Wars. This work would have been relevant to the historical context of the Peace of Amiens and likely intended for a Dutch audience.
