EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable calendar from the year 1783, serving as a commemoration of the historic Treaty of Versailles in 1768. The treaty holds immense significance as it marked America's hard-fought independence. Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 18th century, this coloured engraving now resides in a private collection. The intricate details within this artwork are truly mesmerizing. A beautifully designed cartouche frames the central composition, adorned with symbols such as cornucopia and Mercury, representing abundance and commerce respectively. A majestic sailing ship with its rigging proudly displayed symbolizes America's maritime strength and prosperity. Notably, Poseidon makes an appearance alongside Medusa's shield, signifying power and protection. The presence of wind further emphasizes the nation's progress and growth. Intriguingly, American natives are depicted in harmony with their surroundings – Native Indians engaging in peaceful trade relations or "traite". This inclusion highlights cultural diversity and mutual respect between different communities during that era. It is important to note that this photograph print is not associated with any commercial use but rather serves as a valuable historical artifact preserved by www. bridgemanimages. com. By capturing this unique piece of artistry, we can appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its representation of significant events that shaped our world centuries ago.
