Spotprent op de Vrede van Amiens, 1802 1802 - 1803

This satirical print, created by C. Starcke in 1802-1803, titled "Spotprent op de Vrede van Amiens, 1802," critiques the Peace of Amiens, a peace treaty signed between France and Britain in 1802. The print depicts figures stirring a cauldron over a fire, representing the treaty, while a skeletal figure representing death hovers above, symbolizing the treaty's fragility. This print is a valuable piece of historical art reflecting contemporary concerns about the fragile state of peace during the Napoleonic era.
