EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the signing of the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697, an important moment in European history. The treaty, signed between England, the United Provinces, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire, marked the end of the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1695-1714) in Europe. The treaty brought about significant political and territorial changes, including the recognition of the Protestant William III of England and Mary II as the rightful rulers of England, and the restoration of the Spanish monarchy under King Charles II. The treaty was signed in the Palace of Ryswick, located in the present-day city of Ryssen, France, on September 20, 1697. The orderly scene in the print shows the signatories seated around a long table, each represented by a diplomat or envoy. The Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, depicted at the far right, presided over the signing ceremony. The treaty was an important step towards the establishment of a balance of power in Europe, which would shape the continent's political landscape for decades to come. The Treaty of Ryswick was a significant import in European history, marking the end of a long period of war and the beginning of a new era of diplomacy and political alliances. The print serves as a reminder of the complex web of relationships and power dynamics that existed in Europe during this period, and the role that diplomacy and treaties played in shaping the continent's future.
