• DESCRIPTION: The artwork, crafted by N. Ponce, masterfully portrays scenes not only from the American Revolution but also from the broader conflict that engulfed the world during that period. Commencing with the Battle of Trenton in 1776, it encapsulates the tumultuous struggle for independence. At the heart of the piece stands the personification of triumph, depicted as a figure blowing her horn, symbolizing the victory achieved through the signing of the treaty. Below her, a list of generals, kings, and statesmen involved in the war underscores the international dimension of the conflict. Published by Mr. Ponce in Paris and Mr. Godefroy, the engravers, the artwork serves as a testament to the intricate peace process culminating in the signing of the treaty on September 3, 1783. This historic treaty not only marked the end of the American Revolution but also formally recognized the United States as an independent nation. Notably, the negotiation involved not only the United States and Great Britain but also France, Spain, and the Netherlands, making it a truly global affair.
