EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the historic Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between the States General of the United Netherlands and the United States of America, signed on October 7th, 1782. The allegorical representation showcases three prominent figures in a symbolic embrace. On the right side stands the Dutch virgin, seated gracefully upon a barrel adorned with a freedom hat mounted on a lance. Her presence exudes strength and independence. On her left counterpart is the American virgin, donning an impressive feathered helmet while holding both a lance embellished with medallions and a cadeucus symbolizing commerce. Their hands meet in an iconic handshake, solidifying their nations' bond. In the background, we witness an intriguing character wearing a feathered headdress and baring his torso as he empties a cornucopia onto the ground. From this abundant display spills Virginia tobacco rolls that scatter across its surface—an homage to one of America's significant exports during that time. This remarkable artwork was created anonymously between 1782-1785 and originated from Nieuwe Haven 32a in Dordrecht, Netherlands. It beautifully personifies both countries involved in this treaty through various symbols such as Ripa's depiction of America itself alongside representations like Cornucopia (Horn of Plenty), Red Indians (American Indians), tobacco rolls, coiled twists of tobacco, Netherlands, and United States of America.
