EDITORS COMMENTS
The Treaty of Concordia, March 23,1648, captured in this pen and ink print by the French School of the 17th century, is a significant historical document that continues to hold relevance today. Preserved in the Archives Nationales-Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer, this artwork depicts the agreement between the King of France and the Prince of Orange along with the States of Holland to divide the island of Saint Martin in the Northeast Caribbean. This Franco-Dutch accord was signed by notable figures such as Robert de Lonvilliers, the French Governor, and Martin Thomas, the Dutch Governor. The treaty aimed to establish territorial boundaries on Saint Martin and solidify diplomatic relations between France and Holland during an era marked by colonialism and empire-building. As we gaze upon this intricate drawing showcasing international diplomacy at its core, it serves as a reminder of how legal conventions shaped our world. It symbolizes not only a contract dividing land but also represents an important milestone in colonial history within both French and Dutch territories. Today, centuries after its signing, this remarkable document remains valid—a testament to its enduring significance. Its presence reminds us that even amidst changing times and shifting political landscapes, certain agreements can withstand throughout generations. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also invites contemplation about past alliances forged across continents for power projection in new worlds beyond Europe's shores.
