The Scrap of Paper
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful print that captures the essence of an important historical document. Created in 1919 by an unknown artist, this print showcases a translation and facsimile of signatures from the original treaty of 1831, guaranteeing Belgium's independence and neutrality. The significance of this document lies in its confirmation by six major powers in the famous treaty of 1839. However, Germany's violation of this treaty ultimately led to the present war with the British Empire. The print highlights Article II, which emphasizes that these articles hold equal force and validity as if they were directly included in the present Act. Article VII further solidifies Belgium's position as an independent and perpetually neutral state within specified limits. This neutrality extends towards all other states, emphasizing Belgium's commitment to maintaining peace amidst global conflicts. The plenipotentiary signatories listed on "The Scrap of Paper" include influential figures such as Lord Palmerston representing Great Britain, Sylvain Van De Weyer for Belgium, Count Senfft-Pilsach for Austria, Horace Francois Bastien Sebastiani de La Porta for France, Heinrich von Bulow for Prussia, and Carlo Andrea Pozzo di Borgo representing Russia. This print serves as a reminder not only of historical events but also underscores the importance placed on international agreements and their consequences when broken. It stands as a testament to both Belgium's struggle for independence and its commitment to maintaining perpetual neutrality throughout history.
