"Het plan conciliatoir nopens het daarstellen eener Nationaale Conventie" is a printed title page for a document outlining a plan for a National Convention. Created in 1795 by Dutch artist Jan Oomkens (1779-1844), the piece is a prime example of printed graphic design from the period, a key element in the communication of political ideas. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the title page reflects the changing political landscape of the Netherlands, with the inscription "Het Eerste Jaar der Bataafsche Vrijheid" highlighting the newly established Batavian Republic.
