This anonymous circular print from 1713 depicts a symbolic representation of peace between kings. The central image features a crown, a scepter, a sword, and a scroll that reads, “Pace Inita Inter Reges Fret Borus Adxi Aprilis MDCCXI.” The design is surrounded by two circular frames that list the Electors of Brandenburg, with dates of their rule. This complex visual composition may have been created to commemorate a specific event or to promote peace during this period. It is a fascinating example of historical iconography and symbolic language within a print.
